Next General Meeting is August 18, 2014

The next meeting of Alpha Rho Tau will be held at 6:30 Monday evening, August 18th at the Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 E. 93rd St., Tulsa.

The August speaker will be Richard Coones speaking on “Graphic Arts”. Richard taught two dimensional art classes in the Art Department at N.S.U. for 36 years before retiring. In addition to teaching duties he provided Sculpture for the NSU campus, artwork for its publications and sets for pageantry productions. He obtained his BA and Master’s Degrees in Fine Arts from University of Texas in Austin, lived, painted and studied in Italy and Mexico. He developed his artistic career with exhibitions and studio work in TX and OK.  Coones has worked mainly in drawing, painting and printmaking media, and lately in computer graphics. Light, space, architecture and human form are the prime subjects of his contemplative imagery.
