VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Mixed Media on Paper: drawing, printmaking & collage
Aug 9 - 13, 2021
1PM-4PM MST
Concept
Experiment with works on paper in this virtual, mixed-media workshop open to students of all levels. This course focuses on the development of perspective drawing skills in combination with the use of other media. This workshop introduces students to safe, nontoxic methods in printmaking to combine with drawings that don’t require a press and that can be applied outside of the studio. Unexpected results are encouraged as a means of fostering new ideas. Technical demonstrations and critiques will be facilitated via video conferencing software.
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.

Michael Krueger
Tuition $1,415

This dynamic workshop explores implicit storytelling through painting, teaching students to communicate narratives using subtleties, symbolism, and nuanced painting techniques. Students develop their skills by creating their own layered and impactful artworks using painterly methods to evoke mood, atmosphere, and place. By the culmination of the workshop, students gain an understanding and apply principles of implicit storytelling, embed subtle narratives within their paintings, and produce art that communicates through suggestion. The format includes engaging lectures, hands-on painting exercises, and dynamic peer critiques.
