Art Remix: Digital & Analog
Aug 12 - 16, 2024
9AM - 3PM
Concept
Explore beloved art materials and processes, and expand the horizon of artmaking with powerful digital tools! In this workshop, we engage our senses with traditional art materials and techniques, learning about drawing, writing, color, lines, inks, papers, and charcoal. Then, we use tools including tablets, cameras, and scanners to transfer our works onto the computer where we can remix and refine them. Through the combination of these methods, we create dynamic books, printmaking, and illustration projects.

Students then create their own artworks inspired by whimsical wooden toys called “alejibres,” “hojalata” or tin artwork, the cut paper technique of “papel picado,” plus ceramics and more! On Friday there is a celebration with a piñata for friends and families to enjoy.
