The Hybrid Image: paint and pixels
Jul 26 - 30, 2021
9AM-5PM
Concept
Uncover the endless possibilities of alternative digital printing and expand the scope of your art-making toolbox. Digital cameras and smartphones allow photographers to capture images of the everyday ordinary as well as the ephemeral extraordinary. But so often these images are lost to the digital cloud. In this workshop, participants print onto film and transfer the images to paper, metal and plexiglass. Students build their images letting the original stand or by adding acrylic painting and drawing to their work. Photographic processes that apply to image-making are presented, as well as correct cutting and adhesive procedures. The week’s work results in a broadened idea of what the Hybrid image can achieve visually as well as a deepened appreciation for the almost limitless possibilities in image making.
Media
Direct printing; image transfers on paper, metal, wood, plastics and fabric; acrylic paint, Adobe Photoshop, transfer mediums, students are encouraged to bring images to use a source material.

Photography & New Media
Photography has always been a vital part of Anderson Ranch, one in which students explore visual storytelling through a variety of contexts and concepts. The program has uniquely evolved to focus on both traditional photography and new media— making it one of the only workshop settings of its kind. Three floors of the Fischer Photography Center house state-of-the-art equipment, including three photography studios, two Mac labs, a traditional darkroom, and a lighting studio with strobe and continuous lighting for photography and video.
All Photography workshops are rooted in the same idea—powerful art requires rigorous inquiry of techniques and ideas. We focus on technical skills, content and critical dialog. Students have access to color-managed media labs equipped with 24-inch iMacs, flatbed and film scanners, Epson printers, and cutting-edge software including Adobe Creative Cloud. When appropriate, students utilize strobe and tungsten lighting equipment, seamless backdrops, green screen, audio and video recording equipment and Epson large-format printers.
The Ranch Photography and New Media team creates an inspiring environment, allowing artists of all levels to explore lens-based media and the journey of artistic discovery in the unparalleled setting of the Colorado Rockies.

Photographic Collage: An Exploration of Photography and Painting
Kate Leonard
Tuition $1,395
Code P0101-23
Join an engaging exploration of the synthesis between two distinct art forms: photography and painting. Students discover transfer techniques that integrate photographic images and text directly onto painted surfaces, resulting in intriguingly layered works. They also explore traditional collage and photomontage, and master new methods that allow for opaque and translucent layers. Reductive methods, such as sanding and scraping, reveal the history of earlier photographic layers and suggest an archaeological approach to image development. The workshop emphasizes experimentation and exploratory approaches, enabling students to produce a portfolio of physical examples of all techniques.
