In this workshop, students experiment 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 in combination with digital techniques. 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.

Analog methods of image manipulation such as cutting, folding and photo transfer are taught in combination with digital techniques. Primarily working in the painting studios, students also learn to use the laser cutter and UV printer in the Ranch’s 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.

In this two-week intensive, students experiment with ways to represent and invoke their surroundings using an interdisciplinary format that embraces painted and/or photographic images, physical layers, non-traditional art materials and sculptural forms. Traditional methods of manipulation such as cutting, folding, and tearing are taught in combination with digital fabrication techniques. Utilizing the laser cutters, vacuum formers, and UV printers in the digital fabrication lab, students transform their two-dimensional imagery into unique sculptures. Participants explore the role of observation in their work and new ways to incorporate shadow, color, surface and texture. This course encourages playful ways to embark upon new relationships between two- and three-dimensional elements.
