Peter Bonner
Four Fridays per session 1pm - 4pm
Sessions beginning October 18, December 13, February 28, and May 1, 2020
The class has the objective of providing an opportunity to study in-depth one particular issue through drawing, and this class will be focusing on structure. It will take place each Friday afternoon from 1-4pm starting the fifth week of the session. At each class we will be exploring this issue a number of ways, including examining the works of masters to see various ways that they use structure, discussing as a group the consequences of this for each of us, and drawing from the model so that we can put our thinking into practice with the goal of taking the first steps towards making the ideas our own. The instructor will give demonstrations where ever possible.

Cyanotypes (FALL)
Karen Lindsay
Thursdays (Fall Session 1 & 2)
10am - 2pm
Experiment with a variety of mediums in combination with various type of surfaces. Students can use Graphite, Gouache, Watercolor, Oil paint and Colored Pencils in this class. The surface directly influences mark making whether your style is traditional or contemporary. Many different artists used mixed media such as Degas, Romare Bearden, Jasper John, Jim Dine and Rauschenberg just to name a few. The combinations are endless, but the basic idea is to combine and layer materials to create unique works. Students will be encouraged to work from their choice of subjects such as still life, figure, designs and their own sketches. The point of this class is for students to discover their own visual language. Beginners to advanced students are welcomed.

Alternative Photographic Processes (SPRING)
