A BIT ABOUT CELLULOID
Don’t miss the opportunity to see Charlotte Chaney’s collection of celluloid (Warner Brothers) art. “A cel, short for celluloid, is a transparent sheet on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand-drawn animation. Actual celluloid (consisting of cellulose nitrate and camphor) was used during the first half of the 20th century, but since it was flammable and dimensionally unstable it was largely replaced by cellulose acetate. With the advent of computer assisted animation production, the use of cels has been practically abandoned in major productions.” (Wikipedia,com)
TYLER ROBERTS
Local artist, 28-year-old, Tyler Roberts is originally from Mt. Pleasant. He is the grandson of Lucy Ellis. He says, “My grandmother gave me the eyes to see and open the door into the artistic world. She was an amazing artist. I started focusing on portraits in 2007 after she died. Since then, I’ve drawn only about 300 portraits. And,” he jokingly adds,” I have no intention of retiring until I’ve reached 10,000.” Exhibit guests will be glad to see he plans to continue.
