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 charcoal, graphite, and conte. 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 who need basic drawing skills!

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 Macintosh computer skills are recommended.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGE MAKING

In this introduction to digital photography, students attain competence with a digital camera and with Adobe Photoshop to get the most out of creative image-making. From capture to print, students learn to optimize, manipulate and compose photographic imagery. Please bring your camera and a storage device to the first class.
Basic Macintosh computer skills required.
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 I, Session II, Session III
Plaster. It’s cheap, can be carved or modeled, smooth or intensely detailed, painted or pristine white. Our instructor will demonstrate fundamental sculpture techniques of casting, modeling over an armature, and finishing. You will work with an array of resources – plaster, wire, molds, and scavenged materials. You will be encouraged to use unfamiliar source materials to investigate sculptural form.
PRINTMAKING - LAYER IT ON!
Session I, Session II, Session III
A print is different from a drawing or a painting done on a canvas in that it involves the transfer of ink from a “matrix” onto the paper itself to create the image. This class will focus on image formulation through several printmaking techniques such as block printing, and/or screen-printing. We will explore the multi-faceted processes that encompass printmaking with an emphasis on craftsmanship, color, composition, editioning, and layering.
