Concept

AGES 7-10

Interested in a hands-on approach to art-making? This exploration of photographic techniques may be just the magic needed to spark a lifetime of image-making. This workshop is an exploration of historical processes combined with new digital techniques to make one-of-a-kind images. Students learn the importance of light and time by building pinhole cameras, practicing the cyanotype process, creating digital negatives, and exploring the fundamentals of the black and white printing. We take full advantage of the beauty of the Anderson Ranch campus while learning the fundamentals of picture making to create content for these amazing processes.

Through his various mediums, Trey aims to both inform and provoke the viewer to reflect upon themselves and become more conscious of how one’s reality is shaped and constructed through media.

Fall Art Break

Emily Katebini

Tuition $375
Code ZFK4201-26

Join for a single day or the whole week! Bugs and Birds: Life Below and Above! From the tiniest beetle tunneling underground to the highest hawk circling overhead, this week takes young artists on a journey through every layer of life on Earth. We start low, sculpting clay bugs and building tiny dioramas of the hidden world beneath the rug, in the dirt, and under fallen logs. Then we climb upward, painting layered skyscapes and crafting birds, bats, and bugs that take to the air. Along the way, we study real creatures- their shapes, colors, and camouflage - and use them as inspiration for our own imaginative critters. By the end of the week, we’ve built a whole ecosystem of artwork from the ground up to the clouds! REGISTRATION: If you are interested in registering for single days, please reach out to our Registration Department at [email protected] or call 970-924-5089.
