Art Remix: Digital & Analog

Sam Ticknor

Tuition $615
Code K1112-24

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.
