VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers
Jan 23 - Feb 3, 2023
M, W, F from 1 – 4PM, MST
Concept
This class is based on Hornung’s textbook, Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers. It is designed to strengthen your color understanding and make you more confident with color in your studio practice. Under the instructor’s guidance, students make a sequence of practical studies that reveal the structure of color, its behavior in relation to other colors and useful color strategies. Class time is devoted to illustrated lectures, demonstrations, and the discussion of projects. The class meets on alternate days, so there is ample time to complete assignments. This course is an excellent choice for anyone who makes two-dimensional art.

Sculptural Paintings
Damien Davis
Tuition $1,415
Code D0714-25
Create a dynamic sense of wall power by pushing two-dimensional painting onto three-dimensional surfaces. Incorporate physical elements, painting on a variety of substrates and collage to develop a sense of physicality, space, and texture. Painters and sculptors alike are invited to delve into the painterly world of stepping outside of the rectangular picture plane to incorporate found objects and alternative painting surfaces while maintaining painting as the primary medium. Lectures include an exploration of artists who make sculptural paintings, and discussion centers on how a painting changes when the focus shifts to painting as object.

Watercolor: Abstract Flora
Jan Heaton

Code D0713-25
Observe flowers with an exciting new perspective using abstraction interpreted in watercolor. Students capture not only what they see using watercolor, but also their personal responses as they paint form, line, shape, and work in color. One day of the workshop is focused on color theory and mixing. Daily demonstrations, one-on-one instruction, and sharing with other students provide the foundation for a dynamic exploration of this nuanced medium.

Developing Spatial Relationships in Painting: Form and Content
Dominic Chambers
Tuition $1,415
Code D0816-25
Painters consider the ways in which to magnify space and depth in their paintings through various prompts and new ways of thinking about the steps of building a painting. The class embarks on the creation of dioramas as a first step, then moves to painting directly from models to be able to envision the three-dimensional into two dimensions while examining color, contrast, figure/ground, and many more formal elements that contribute to the creation of deep space. Content is also emphasized as a paramount concern as students examine their intentions and merge form and meaning.
