VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Coding for Artists with p5.js

Jan 11 - 13, 2021

9-11AM & 1-4PM MST

Concept

This three-day online workshop introduces the basics of coding through creating visual media. Morning tutorial sessions will introduce new ideas through examples. Afternoon sessions are dedicated to individual studio time and one-on-one discussions with Ari. This workshop is created for total beginners with code and will introduce the fundamentals in detail. We’ll create a new project each day as we cover the coding basics of statements, variables, and conditionals. All examples and projects will be created with p5.js, a free, open-source coding environment created for visual artists. Learn more about p5.js at p5js.org.

This workshop 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.

Photographic Collage: An Exploration of Photography and Painting

Kate Leonard

Tuition $1,395
Code P0101-23

Join an engaging exploration of the synthesis between two distinct art forms: photography and painting. Students discover transfer techniques that integrate photographic images and text directly onto painted surfaces, resulting in intriguingly layered works. They also explore traditional collage and photomontage, and master new methods that allow for opaque and translucent layers. Reductive methods, such as sanding and scraping, reveal the history of earlier photographic layers and suggest an archaeological approach to image development. The workshop emphasizes experimentation and exploratory approaches, enabling students to produce a portfolio of physical examples of all techniques.

Digital Illustration

Theresa Jackson

Tuition $1,050
Code P0202-23

With an iPad and Apple Pencil, artists can tap into an entire artist studio. In this workshop, students are introduced to the power and flexibility of digital drawing and illustration on an iPad. Students explore a variety of tools, including Procreate and Adobe mobile apps for tablets. Daily activities lead to understanding custom workspaces, touchscreen gestures, resolution, digital brushes, selections to edit specific areas, working with layers, and layer masks for compositing. Students apply these skills by illustrating a scene from their beautiful surroundings and working from photographic source images. All drawing skill levels are welcome; students need to provide their own iPad and Pencil.

Basics of Game Design in Scratch

Rafael Fajardo

Tuition $595
Code P0204-23

*ADDITIONAL SECTION ADDED AUGUST 7-11* In this workshop each participant learns to create at least one, small, complete video game in Scratch. We will be inclusive, welcoming, loose, and quick in our process as we explore game design in an art context. Scratch is a delightfully inviting programming environment that rewards tinkering and exploration. There are a combination of do-as-I-do demonstrations and prompting to create a game of one's own. We encourage making one's own characters and telling one's own stories. This workshop is open to learners at all levels. Se habla español.
