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.

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.

This exploratory workshop open to students of all levels introduces a variety of techniques for combining painting and collage to create rich and dynamic imagery. We delve into color, composition and surface texture using a multitude of materials resulting in layered, mixed media works. Experimentation is emphasized as we discover additive and subtractive methods, transfers, stencils, masking, dripping techniques, and various ways to adhere materials. We source elements like photographic materials, paint, fabrics and papers to combine. Students leave with new skills as well as a series of mixed media paintings.

Abstracting Reality

Rico Gatson

Tuition $1,415
Code D0917-25

In this acrylic painting workshop, the mysterious and powerful realm of abstraction—and how it can be used as a visual tool when merged with representationalism—becomes accessible. We delve into the basic visual elements of abstraction through the exploration of pattern, color, composition, and fragmentation. Advanced students are encouraged to experiment with surface texture and alternative painting materials as well, and to incorporate representational elements such as photographs and figurative painting. These dynamic combinations result in bold and exciting images that use abstraction as a device to interrupt reality and present it in unique and surprising ways.
