VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Writing an Artist Statement
Jun 21 - 25, 2021
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 9-11:30AM MST
Concept
Join artist and educator Lisa Kereszi in a three-day workshop to help you write an artist statement that sounds like you, and not like someone else’s idea of who you are. We will do short writing prompts together aimed at helping you tap into your visual memories and develop a voice that helps the viewer understand what it is you are trying to share with your photographs. Be prepared to share your writing with the group, as well as have a conversation one-on-one with the instructor. By the end of the week, each participant should have at least a solid first draft of a written piece about their own work that can be adapted for various uses, such as grant-writing, portfolio reviews and exhibition submissions.
Additional Information: This virtual class meets Monday, Wednesday, Friday (June 21, 23 and 25) from 9-11:30AM with one additional 30-minute individual session 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.

Digital Illustration
Theresa Jackson
Tuition $1,050
Code P0202-23
With an iPad and Apple Pencil, artists can tap into an entire artist studio. In this workshop, students are introduced to the power and flexibility of digital drawing and illustration on an iPad. Students explore a variety of tools, including Procreate and Adobe mobile apps for tablets. Daily activities lead to understanding custom workspaces, touchscreen gestures, resolution, digital brushes, selections to edit specific areas, working with layers, and layer masks for compositing. Students apply these skills by illustrating a scene from their beautiful surroundings and working from photographic source images. All drawing skill levels are welcome; students need to provide their own iPad and Pencil.

Basics of Game Design in Scratch
Rafael Fajardo
Tuition $595
Code P0204-23
*ADDITIONAL SECTION ADDED AUGUST 7-11* In this workshop each participant learns to create at least one, small, complete video game in Scratch. We will be inclusive, welcoming, loose, and quick in our process as we explore game design in an art context. Scratch is a delightfully inviting programming environment that rewards tinkering and exploration. There are a combination of do-as-I-do demonstrations and prompting to create a game of one's own. We encourage making one's own characters and telling one's own stories. This workshop is open to learners at all levels. Se habla español.

The Hybrid Image: Digital and Physical
Ben Timpson
Tuition $1,200
Code P0306-23
In this workshop, new ideas and creative perspectives are brought to life by combining photography, painting, sculpture and collage through hands-on experimentation of exciting new transfer techniques. We learn to see photography as a multidimensional medium by incorporating digital fabrication tools and techniques to create photographic sculptures. Students print onto film and learn how to transfer images to traditional and nontraditional substrates while pushing the boundaries of creative possibilities. The workshop results in an expanded idea of how digital photography can be used to add depth and produce unique artwork.
