Morristown, NJ, July 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Teaching some of the fine points of art to local children highlighted David Derr's return to ArtWalk Nyack 2011. The theme of this year's event was "A Tribute to Edward Hopper" honoring the acclaimed artist as well as the 40th anniversary of Edward Hopper House Art Center.
The show boasted thirty artists in residence at local businesses during the weekend of June 17 through June 19.
Derr showcased a selection of his works at Eyevolution Optique and spent Sunday afternoon interacting with eager children as they worked with crayons, chalk and other art materials.
He commented, "I wasn't sure what I was getting into since I had never taught children before. However it turned out to be an exciting and fun afternoon for the children, their parents (who joined in) and me. Art is a universal language and like music has the ability to cross age and cultural differences."
An internationally exhibited artist Derr employs a wide cross section of artistic disciplines includingtraditional and digital painting, mixed media, assemblages and photography. His works have recently been displayed at the European Council of International Schools in Nice, France; as well as exhibitions in Spain,the Czech Republic, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Derr has won numerous awards including: the Adobe Digital Imaging Competition, International. Digital Mural Competition and NY Art Director's Club. He has been featured in Gallery and Studio Magazine, Photoshop User, and Digital Fine Arts Magazine as well as numerous online exhibitions and websites.
