VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Advanced Studio Critique: A Praxis Engaged
Jan 11 - 29, 2021
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 9-10:30AM & 1-4PM MST
Concept
Open your studio practice to new possibilities in this online intensive workshop designed for experienced artists working in any media. Students work on their own self-directed prompts and projects amidst one-on-one and group discussions and critiques structured by the instructor, highlighting color and materials choices, the treatment of surface and other elements of making work that affect content. Demonstrations, prompts and conversations take place in class to foster discourse and strengthen praxes. Students will present a digital portfolio of their work as a stepping-stone to opening up a dialog about the form and content within their work.
This three-week virtual class meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
Media
Students should use all materials necessary to make their work as well as prepare a digital portfolio of recent work (20 images max).

Expanding Image to Form with Digital Fabrication
Letha Wilson
Tuition $1,225
Code D1431-24
This class offers experimentation with methods of representation and abstraction using an interdisciplinary approach that embraces painted and/or photographic images, physical layers, repurposed materials, and sculptural forms. Analog methods of image manipulation, such as cutting, folding, and photo transfer, are taught with digital techniques. Though primarily working in the painting studios, students also learn to use the laser cutter and UV printer in the digital fabrication lab. Participants explore the role of texture and layers in their work through shadow, color, and surface. This course encourages playful and innovative ways to integrate two and three-dimensional elements.

Watercolor: Abstract Leaves
Jan Heaton
Tuition $1,275
Code D1532-24
This workshop invites students to find the balance between spontaneity and control within the watercolor medium. Students explore the evolution of abstract form from the observed reality of a singular leaf or a group of leaves. Each student completes a series of work that explores one central subject, focusing on the line, color, structure, and form of leaves. Various experimental techniques and tools that can be utilized to create a finished painting are demonstrated. Activities include presentations of visual images, discussions of abstract painting, and student-instructor consultations.

Yielding to What's in Front of You: Sustained Looking & The Studio Practice
Christina Quarles
Tuition $1,225
Code D1633-24
The goal of this painting workshop is to be present in your practice and bring that observational attentiveness to a process that allows for malleability and change. Students come prepared to work on self-directed studio projects, and also bring one completed work to share. Half of each day is spent on independent projects, and the other half exploring prompts, engaging in writing exercises, and participating in group critiques and discussions, as well as individual studio visits. We also spend time figure drawing with a live model, and looking at a range of artworks, to hone our observational muscles and consider critical strategies as painters.
