THE ESSENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY with Russell Levine

For all levels, Wednesday 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. This class will revitalize your photography practice by exploring your relationship to your subject, your camera, and yourself. Through photo exercises, assignments, and field trips, we will learn to deepen our visual awareness while clarifying our approach, so that image making becomes both more personal and meaningful. This class will provide a unique opportunity to rethink our expectations of what it means to ‘see’. We will work on simplicity and making more powerful photographs, supporting the notion that a photograph is not ‘taken’ but made. Attention will be paid to lighting, composition, depth-of-field and exposure issues, but more importantly, you will practice using this information to make more powerful and meaningful images. Bring a sense of commitment (and sense of humor) and curiosity to class, as well as a few examples of recent work to the first session.

POWERFUL ACRYLIC PAINT LAYERS (Resident Artist Workshop) with Vicki Siegel

For all Levels. Friday – Saturday, January 15-16, 2016, 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
You will learn exciting new approaches to the use of acrylic products for layering and creating rich and complex surfaces. Artists working in all media and any abstract or representational style will benefit from this innovative way of thinking about materials. Gels, pastes, acrylic skins, masking, stencils, image transfers, transparent and translucency will be explained. Whether a beginner or an accomplished artist, you will be inspired by the information packed demonstrations. You will learn to incorporate personal imagery. There will be a lunch hour lecture and slide show for people who want to bring a brown bag lunch on Friday.

ABSTRACT PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE DRAWING WORKSHOP (Visiting Artist Workshop) with Lily Prince

In this abstract landscape drawing workshop, we will work outside or “en plein air.” We will create quick, small scale studies, responding to light, shadow, space and the natural rhythms and patterns in nature. We will experiment with varied materials such as oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, ink and paint sticks. Students will begin in black and white, then progress to monochromatic drawings, eventually drawing with color. Students will gain an understanding of technical skill and emotional expression in order to depict the interpretive space of particular places.
