Ever wonder if your phone has any hidden abilities that might be useful? Sure, we use our phones to stay connected and to play games, but they’re also extremely powerful computers with immense sensing capabilities thanks to the very small, very cheap sensor technology at our disposal today. Much like the fabled tricorder from Star Trek, our phones are capable of some astounding sensing, computing, and recording tasks, like returning the solution to a calculus equation, or navigating a telephone call tree until a human gets on the line. Or how about real time language translation? That's straight out of Trek too, they called it the universal translator. From analyzing the ambient audio frequency spectrum to real time earthquake alerts and more, the phones in our pockets are much more powerful than most people realize. Join the discussion to discover what hidden powers lurk inside your smart phone on Wednesday, May 17^th at 6:00pm. Milford Public Library is located at 57 New Haven Ave. in Milford, CT. To contact the Library, call 203-783-3290 or visit milfordlibrary.org.

Milford Library, 57 New Haven Ave., welcomes artist William P. Duffy, who will demonstrate the art of painting from a photograph on May 20 at 1:30 pm. 

Many artists, when painting from full color photographs they like, don’t take into account the black to white value pattern in the photograph.  Color in photographs can be confusing to interpret. A strong value pattern is one of the keys to a strong painting, no matter what style an artist chooses. 

The  program will cover the following topics and will also include a painting demonstration illustrating the topics covered.

• Explain how to recognize the black, white, and grey value pattern in a full color photograph by way of changing a full color photograph to a black and white photograph.
• Explain the value there is in designing any composition to arrive at a pleasing value pattern in black and white before beginning a painting.
• Explain what a value pattern is and show examples of how artists, including Duffy, have used it in their work.
• Show the value of thumbnail sketches in composing a painting using a simple black and white value pattern.

       Whether you’re an experienced painter or a novice, this demonstration and tutorial      

       can give you insights.

      This free program is open to all.
