Drawing Experimental Nature

Drawing: Explore Your Experimental Nature  Kay Brathol-Hostvet   

"Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."   --Pablo Picasso

Drawing is one of the most elemental forms of communication throughout human culture, and the foundation for all of the visual arts.  This fun process-oriented workshop is for those who want to go beyond traditional drawing, expand skills and creativity, and gain more delight in the drawing process!   We will explore expressive mark-making, exaggeration, co-operative drawing and using non-traditional drawing tools that we will find on-site in nature.  All projects will relate to the natural world. Many materials provided.

Wed Aug 8  9 - 4:0   $95/ $10 materials

Tactile Transfer Prints & folio     Linda Barrett 

Beginning our day by discussing and reviewing your chosen images, paintings, and text we will then approach options for editing. Using demonstrations of simple scans and transfer to understand the process, each participant will take it too the next level by - scanning, layering or collaging. Individual choices of using text in addition to images will be discussed and applied. Day two allows for additional transfers/layering.  Students will also learn about color and black & white acetates, layering and printing images for creating heat transfers.

 Color Strategies Kay Brathol-Hostvet               

Color is the most familiar element of design-and the most complex. Understanding basic color theory goes a long way in making you a better designer and artist, whether you want to paint a canvas or decorate a room, design your own quilts or plan your garden for the most visual impact. Lecture, numerous handouts, and several hands-on projects will help you become more fluent in the language of color and more confident in the application of color theory to your designs.  Many materials will be provided.   Wed, Aug 29, 9-4:30  $95/$10 materials
