• Explore your creativity
• Experience making art on a college campus

If you are new to the excitement of creating
art, many of these quick intense workshops
are a fun way to focus on exploring new
media and techniques. For students planning
to apply to an art school, this is an
opportunity to acquire work in a variety of
media that is suitable for use in portfolio
presentations.
The Tyler Pre-College Summer Workshop 2008
provides a time and place where student
artists can immerse themselves in a studio
experience on a college campus.
Our teachers are working artists dedicated
to a solid studio foundation that
emphasizes drawing, 2-D and 3-D design
principles. The Workshop structure is based
on those principles.
Workshop Descriptions
Students select an AM and a PM Workshop
course each two week session.
(see full descriptions below).
DRAWING
Session I, Session II, Session III
Observation is the foundation of any
drawing. If you are a new or experienced
artist, explore a variety of drawing
materials such as pastels, graphite,
charcoal and mixed media step-by-step. We
will draw from many sources- from landscape
and still life to the human form, always
from direct observation. All of the
technical elements- line, tone, form, color,
and composition will be employed as tools
that facilitate experimentation. This is a
great class for those working on a senior
portfolio!
PORTFOLIO PREPARATION
Session I, Session II, Session III
This Workshop is for students who wish to
begin, refine or expand their college
admission portfolio. Students will explore
imaginative, descriptive and conceptual
imagery through 2D design projects in both
black and white and color using a variety of
materials. Focus will be on selecting
subjects and techniques to create quality
drawings for presentation.
FIGURE DRAWING AND PAINTING
Session I, Session II, Session III
(other classes may be scheduled at a later
date- please check our website)
PLEASE NOTE: There is a $50 model fee.
The human figure is a gift to the artist.
Focus will be on figure studies from direct
observation- working from models, clothed
and nude. Students will study proportion,
form and structure as well as composition.
Previous drawing experience is required.
PAINTING
Session I, Session III
(other classes may be scheduled at a later
date- please check our website)
This Workshop offers a unique series of
studies that will lead students to
creatively investigate effective use of
color, surface and composition through
painting. Working from still life setups,
interiors or landscapes, students will
develop a visual language. Individual
development is stressed through one-on-one
critiques.
CHARACTER ANIMATION IN FLASH
Session I, Session II, Session III
Combine traditional character animation
techniques with computer programs to produce
digital animation! Basic principles such as
squash and stretch, anticipation, pantomime
and general acting will be stressed. A brief
history of East and West animation topics,
such as Anime and American animation will be
presented.
DIGITAL DESIGN and ILLUSTRATION
Session I, Session II, Session III
The world has become increasingly digitized.
By integrating digital photography, existing
images, and found objects, students will
explore visual organization to discover new
design solutions. Technical and aesthetic
skills will integrate design elements of
color, form, typography and composition.
This workshop will focus on introducing the
computer as a design tool. Students will
create visually stimulating work using Adobe
Illustrator and Photoshop on a MAC platform.
Basic computer skills are recommended.
CERAMICS: EARTH, FIRE AND FORM
Session I, Session II, Session III
In-depth ceramic projects explore processes
such as throwing, sculpting, carving and
hand building to create forms of your own
design – elegant or funky!
SCULPTURE
Session 1, Session II, Session III
Working with an array of resources –
plaster, wire, molds and scavenged materials
like metal, rusted chains, recycled milk
jugs and various alternative materials,
there will be a sculptural emphasis on the
use of form, light and color concepts in
3-dimensional space. You will be encouraged
to find unfamiliar source materials to
investigate sculptural form.
PRINTMAKING - LAYER IT ON!
Session 1, Session II, Session III
This class will focus on the wide variety of
printing techniques available - silk screen,
lithography, and etching. A print, produced
in large numbers, is quite different from
drawing or painting directly on canvas.
Printmaking expands self-expression in bold
and original ways.
BOOK ART
Session II
What is a tunnel book? An artist's book? An
altered book? Consider a book as an art form
in two and three dimensions! In this class,
students will create their own artist’s
books, learn binding techniques, and use
collage as a form of visual expression to
transform imagery.
