Portrait Drawings with Collage
Jamie Utter - 90 Minute Workshop
In this workshop you will learn to create intriguing and unusual portraits by combining various papers with more traditional drawing mediums. We will work from reference photos of notable historic and cultural icons creating unexpected and surprising studies combining these materials and techniques. Students may also bring with them photographs that are personally meaningful to them and use that as their reference. In the process you will learn to analyze and portray shapes and values in new ways. It's also an exciting way to create art from recycled materials.
Printmaking
Denise Kraemer - 90 Minute Workshop
Printmaking is an ink-based medium, and instead of painting on canvas or paper, the image on an inked plate is transferred to paper using a printing press. Your plate is a reverse of your image, further challenging your brain to develop new ways of seeing.
