Drawing and Painting Workshops
DRAWING
Observation is the foundation of drawing. If you are a new or experienced
artist, explore a variety of drawing materials such as pastels, graphite,
charcoal and mixed media. 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! See a supply list
here.
Please bring a large (18”x24”) sketchbook to the first class.

DRAWING AND THE SKETCHBOOK
Add an edge to your portfolio! Drawing will be a large part of organizing your

explorations. The goal of this workshop is to encourage intuition, risk, and the
ability to push boundaries. Field trips are a part of this investigation. Please
bring a large sketchbook to the first class.

PRINTMAKING “LAYER IT ON”
Some of the best known artists today have used an element of layering in their
printmaking work. This workshop will introduce three color linoleum block and
silkscreen printing along with drawing. Students will be challenged to explore
the possibilities of building composition through layering charcoal, wax, ink,
and paint.
Whether the pop culture images appropriated through Andy Warhol’s hand painted
silkscreen prints, or the collage paintings of Ellen Gallagher that incorporate
fashion ads and year book pictures, the success of these artists’ work is
definitely tied to their skill in handling multiple mediums.

INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE
The mission of an architect, and architecture as a whole, should be to create
aesthetically enriching built environments for the needs of human beings, to
revitalize the urban fabric and to serve as stewards of the global environment.
To that end, we have created an introduction to the field of architecture for
the high school student.
Through design problems, lectures and site visits, students will come to
understand that architecture is a creative search based both on imagination and
precedents, as well as a reflective process instilling within the students the
notion that self-criticism and motivation are their greatest resources. Students
are encouraged to keep a daily sketchbook of their observations, a valuable
resource for college admission portfolio work.
