Winter and spring of this year I had the pleasure of teaching my first series of drawing classes at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center. The classes explored the definition of drawing with projects that utilized various materials and mediums. The lessons referenced periods in art history with a contemporary mindset that focuses the student’s personal interest. The students and I had a blast working together. This summer I will be one of the Visual arts Coordinators for the Kennedy Heights Summer Camp. I will keep you posted on our success.

Contemporary Connections at the CAC
It was a privilege and honor to be a part of the Contemporary Connections Series at the Contemporary Arts Center. I always enjoy sharing my work with others, but what made this evening unique was the fact that I was also sharing how my journey as a visual artist plays a big role in the lessons I create for the students that I teach. I demonstrated three exciting lesson plans to an audience of art educators from different fields of interest. The audience not only watched they also had a chance to create. My favorite lesson was the Interactive Cityscape based on my Interactive magnetic painting that was featured in the Soul with in Structure Exhibition which is now a part of The Unmuseums Interactive Art collection. Thanks to all who attended this event and most of all thank you Contemporary Arts Center for the opportunity. We had lots of fun.
Thank you for your support!
I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to see my exhibition Urban Rapture at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center. I would also like to thank the students that I worked with in the Eva G. Farris Educational Center whose work was on view in the Carnegie’s children’s gallery.

Visions on Elm by Cedric Cox, 48x48 inches, acrylic on stretched canvas
Check out A.C. Frabetti’s review of Urban Rapture, my exhibit of new paintings that’s currently on view at The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington, KY:
Though Cedric uses the term ‘quilt’ to describe in part his approach to his paintings, they could just as easily be mosaics, or even stained glass, given their use of dark lines separating the colors.
