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.

Acrylic Painting for Teens
Lindsey Yeager
Tuition $675
Code D0612-25
In this introductory-level painting workshop for teens, students learn to approach painting through a variety of lenses from observational to stylized, and embark upon many exercises relating to color, line, and form. Students begin by focusing on painting from observation and learning to record what they see, then explore abstraction, pattern, and developing color fields. We take inspiration from paintings throughout history and gain a knowledge of historical works, as well as taking a look at contemporary imagery. Teens come away with a portfolio of paintings to continue to build upon in the future.

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
Tuition $1,430
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.
