VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Advanced Studio Critique: A Praxis Engaged
Jan 11 - 29, 2021
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 9-10:30AM & 1-4PM MST
Concept
Open your studio practice to new possibilities in this online intensive workshop designed for experienced artists working in any media. Students work on their own self-directed prompts and projects amidst one-on-one and group discussions and critiques structured by the instructor, highlighting color and materials choices, the treatment of surface and other elements of making work that affect content. Demonstrations, prompts and conversations take place in class to foster discourse and strengthen praxes. Students will present a digital portfolio of their work as a stepping-stone to opening up a dialog about the form and content within their work.
This three-week virtual class meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
Media
Students should use all materials necessary to make their work as well as prepare a digital portfolio of recent work (20 images max).

In Translation: Abstraction In Process
Corey Antis
Tuition $1,195
Code D0101-23
How do we perceive what we observe and how do we translate what we perceive into an abstract language? By investigating the processes of observation and painting, this course introduces students to the exploration of abstraction. Students experiment with both oil and water-based media, use direct and indirect painting approaches, develop a strong base of technical and conceptual knowledge, and discover how visual metaphor and material processes work together. Students are encouraged to experiment with individual interests that emerge from color study, drawing exercises, and visual projects to find their own abstract language.

Painting as Metamorphosis
Jody Guralnick
Tuition $1,195
Code D0102-23
Dive into metamorphosis, the state which not only defines nature but also the process of painting. Using nature as source material, we read, discuss, observe, and then embark on a painting journey, thinking about painting as process and movement rather than as a fixed form. Students explore ways to talk about nature with paint without needing to reproduce observations in a literal way, melding abstraction and representation, discovering and producing depth, and allowing an image to float to the surface. We learn to develop form, mix color, and consider composition, all inspired by what we see around us.

Portrait and Figure in Watercolor: Curiosity and Awareness
Brian Shure
Tuition $1,195
Code D0103-23
Bring the face and figure to life with the transparency and immediacy of watercolor, an extremely expressive media that can also be highly controlled. With daily demonstrations and a series of simple and accessible studio exercises, students develop skills controlling resoluble colors, reserving and pulling back highlights, and maintaining brilliant and delicate tones that are unique to water-based media. We work from life as well as photographic sources in this deceivingly direct paint medium, capturing the essence of the portrait and figure by taking time to look and record what we see.
