Rights And
~ Services For
Crime Victims
Rocky Mount-Even though
services available to crime
victims in North Carolina can
be traced back to the early
1970's it was not until July of
1985 when the Victims
Committee of the Governor's
Crime Commission was
appointed, that there was a
planned government response
to the needs and concerns of
crime victims in North
Carolina.
Since July 1985, the Victims
Committee has received
numerous documents and
recommendations from
national, state and local
programs, and recommenda
tions from many individuals
with interest in victim's needs
to arrive at this point of its
work.
In the interest of providing a
completed report ot the
Governor's Crime Commis
sion prior to the 1987 session
of the General Assembly,
response from crime victims
and concerned citizens to
these recommendtions is
needed. To solicit response, a
series of victims forums have
been scheduled across the
State for the convenience of
those who might want an
opportunity to be heard.
Washington, N.C. will host
the victim forum for the
northeastern section of the
State on Tuesday, October 7.
The forum will be held in the
City Council Chambers from
"Tl'OO'to 9:00 pm.
You, as a victim of crime or
concerned citizen have a prime
opportunity to voice your
opinion and influence change.
You are encouraged to attend
one or more of the public
hearings and share your
experience, knowledge, and
views with us.
To obtain a copyof the
recommendations, to reserve
time for your comments, or for
additional information, contact
Linda Kelder at the Rocky
Mount Police Department at
972-1442. A large turnout is
expected, so reserve your time
to comment on the recom
mendations by calling. Let's
work together to help the next
victim of crime.
In royal bedrooms in 18th
century England, a rail often
separated the bed from the rest
of the room, and only the most
important people were allowed
inside the rail to dress or
undress the king, says National

'Methods Of The Masters' Opens
Oct. 4
An exhibition which focuses on the methods by which art is
created will open; Oct, 4 at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
"Methods of the Masters: Techniques in Art" will remain on view
in the Mary Duke Biddle Education Gallery through summer
1987.
The exhibition will discuss four techniques—bronze casting,
stonecarving, egg tempera painting on panel and painting on
canvas—with examples of each from the museum's collections.
Like all exhibitions in this gallery, it will be accompanied by
large-type wall labels, large-type and Braille versions of the
gallery guide and recorded tour, making it accessible to visitors
with special needs.
The technique of bronze casting will be represented by the
plaster original and bronze cast of "Study for Monument to
President Andrew Jackson, James Polk and Andrew Johnson"
(1947) by Jo Davidson. To illustrate this technique, the exhibition
will Include a series of objects from the Cleveland Museum of Art
which trace the bronze casting process through each step.
An example of stonecarving will be seen in "Federigo ad
Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino," a marble relief attributed to 15th
century artist Francesco Laurana. Wall panels will describe how
an artist blocks out large mases from the stone, then cuts and
abrades its surface to achieve smaller forms.
Egg tempera painting on panel was the major process used for
small-scale paintings during the Middle Ages and Renaissance
until the 15th century. The paint comprised natural pigmants
mixed with egg yolk; this was applied to a smooth wood panel.
Cften the picture included areas of gold leaf, meticulously
applied and stamped in decorative patterns. Seen in early works
like "St. Jerome in His Study," which was painted before 1402 by
Cecco di Pietro, the egg tempera technique has been revived by
modern artists like Andrew Wyeth, whose "Sea Dog" (1971) is
also in the exhibition.
Finally, "Methods of the Masters" takes a look at the processes
used by artists in creating paintings on canvas in oil or acrylic.
While some arrtlsts prefer to sketch the overall composition with
little attention to detail, Vernet's "Study for the 'Race of the
Riderless Horses'" (about 1820) demonstrates how he completed
each area of the study thoroughly before beginning the next
section. Howard W. Mehring's "Amarillo" (1958) shows the
freedom of modern artists to work rapidly and experimentally,
often on a large scale. This is made possible by the development
of quick-drying acrylic paints.
"Methods of the Masters" has been organized by Diana Suarez,
coordinator of youth programs. It is made posible by the Z. Smith
Reynolds Foundation and the Mary Duke Biddle Foundation, and
is co-sponsored by the Duke-Semans Fine Arts Foundation.
Tactile tours of the exhibition, along with touch tours of the
main galleries and hands-on workshops, are available to visually
impaired visistors by advance request. For imformation, call the
museum at (919) 833-1935.
