The Visual Art League of Lewisville (VAL) is an all-volunteer organization with members who share an interest in the visual arts and fine crafts. We organize multiple member shows each year, provide local artists the opportunity to showcase their work, produce visiting artist lectures, networking groups, educational art activities such as demonstrations, and hands-on projects, and participate in other community events. VAL is very involved in serving and enriching our community through art-viewing experiences in a local setting, supporting the schools in their visual arts programs, and collaborating with other non-profit groups to serve our community. The Visual Art League welcomes membership into our group and is excited to have you participate in our activities or visit our exhibits. Membership includes artists, students, educators, and those art advocates wanting to support the local arts community. Members provide docents to Lewisville’s Grand Theater Gallery and volunteer for other events there. The Visual Art League is proud to be sponsored in part by the City of Lewisville.

VAL ART TALKS AND DEMOS
Kay Byfield Exploiting Shape and Value for Stronger Artworks
Well-designed shapes and a thoughtful distribution of values are the keys to strong two-dimensional artworks. This month’s presenter, watercolor painter, Kay Byfield, MFA, will define what a good shape is and give tips on how to create them in photographs, paintings, drawings, etc. by manipulating value. To bring home the point, she will show artworks in a range of media and analyze the way that the artists have composed their pictures so that they are eye-catching and memorable. This program is intended to enhance your understanding of value and shape as essential tools in your design toolbox.
Kay Byfield began painting in watercolor more than 35 years ago and, after earning a Master of Fine Arts degree, she taught college art classes for ten years. The courses she taught included design, painting, photography, art appreciation and art history. When she left her faculty position at the community college in East Texas, she worked as a corporate marketer while teaching at the Creative Arts Center of Dallas, https://www.creativeartscenter.org/. In addition to introductory and intermediate watercolor classes there, she is available for workshops and group presentations.
