digital photomontage lecture Hoboken museum


LECTURE: CREATING A DIGITAL PHOTOMONTAGE 
HOBOKEN FROM AFAR: Digital Photomontages by Roslyn Rose
November 4, 4pm
HOBOKEN HISTORICAL MUSEUM
1301 Hudson Street
Hoboken, NJ 07030
Roslyn Rose will offer a free lecture on using the Photoshop program to create of Photomontages like the ones in her exhibition, Hoboken From Afar, currently in the Upper Gallery at the Hoboken Historical Museum, 1301 Hudson Street, Hoboken. The show will continue until November 4th when Ms. Rose will present a lecture about her art and the exhibit at 4pm. During the lecture Rose will display images of work depicting the additions, subtractions, and adjustments used to compose a digital collage and explain each tool needed to create the final image.  Questions from the audience will be encouraged.

Sometimes you have to get away, far away, to see your hometown from a fresh perspective or you can view Hoboken From Afar.  A longtime Hoboken resident, Rose credits her travels for these latest artworks. The foregrounds of the photomontages are her photographs and found images collected during her journeys, which have been digitally superimposed over familiar Hoboken scenes. 
Additional information can be obtained at www.roslynrose.com and www.hobokenmuseum.org or by contacting the artist at rrose@roslynrose.com. This exhibition is made possible by a Block Grant from the State/County Partnership program for the Arts.

Be A Part Of The Show!
Friends of the Loew's Event Volunteers do everything from selling the tickets to making the popcorn to showing patrons to their seats and cleaning up the theatre afterwards. If you are interested in joining us this weekend or at any other event this season, email us at loewsjersey@gmail.com or call us at (201) 798-6055.

There will be an especially warm sense of camaraderie for those who help us in making sure the show does go on this weekend. As always, volunteers can bring a guest to help, pick a complimentary selection from our concession stand, and after the crowd is in and the film begins, they can enjoy the show. We do ask, however, that volunteers stay 30-40 minutes after the final show the help us clean up.
