VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Possibilities in Painting, Drawing & Collage
Aug 30 - Sep 3, 2021
1PM-4PM MST
Concept
This virtual, project-based workshop for artists of all levels guides students to making unique and personal works of art while combining painting, drawing and collage. Technical exploration, perception, development of ideas, intuition, invention, representation and communication are at the core of this workshop. Students explore different ways of working with acrylic paint and expand on the idea of what painting is by integrating alternative painting materials. Each painting begins with drawing and collaging in order to generate our own sources of inspiration. Technical demonstrations, facilitated via video-conferencing software, will encourage students to boldly explore different approaches to art making and to foster fearlessness when tackling new materials and processes.
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.
