Image Transfer and Collage: Paper, Fabric and Stencil
Aug 19 - 23, 2024
9AM - 5PM
Concept
In this exciting and experimental mixed-media acrylic painting workshop, participants explore the opaque and translucent possibilities of image transfer. Transferring images with various acrylic mediums onto paper and fabric uncovers dynamic associations between the images, patterns in the fabric, characteristics of the substrate, and the painted mark. Stencils and collage provide additional new approaches to layering and more ways to reveal and conceal surface, substrate, and idea. Students generate new tools to add to their studio practice as well as plenty of time to experiment and push their imagery in new ways.

Rendering the Tangible: Drawing from Life
Simon Haas, Liz Ferrill
Tuition $1,225
Code D0816-24
Participants allow themselves the time, space, and guidance to examine and respond to what they see in this drawing workshop open to artists of all skill levels. Each day, they embark on the fascinating journey of taking the time to make drawings from a live model, still life, personal objects/relics, and our natural surroundings, formally approaching drawing through exercises in line, contour, negative/positive space, value studies, and composition. Conceptual intent is also explored through choosing personal subject matter and discovering ways to best articulate through the immediate medium of drawing. Liz Ferrill will be present for the entire duration of the workshop; Simon Haas will join daily from 9am – 3pm.

Daily demonstrations, one-on-one instruction, and presentations provide the foundation for a dynamic exploration of this nuanced medium. A one-day plein air painting experience is part of this workshop, as a way to work from life and take it back into the studio to condense and deconstruct.
