Saturday, November 19, 2011 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Teaching Artist: Gretchen Grunt
Transform one of your favorite pictures into a stamp by creating a linoleum block. Together we will turn your picture into a graphic image, transfer it to the block, and cut it out with gouges, leaving your drawing on the surface to be inked up and printed in multiple colors. Bring a picture, drawing or photo, roughly 8"x10", that inspires you.
Session 3: Black & White: Drawing with Pencils and India Ink
Saturday, January 21, 2012 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Teaching Artist: Cindi Kelly
Drawing is the basic language of art and a learnable skill. Using a variety of pencils and India ink, you will learn drawing strategies and techniques to create depth, shadows and perspective all without the use of color. Subject matter will vary and include still life, landscapes, and figures as well as the museum’s collection.
Session 4: The Perfect Picture: Digital Photography
Saturday, February 18, 2012 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Teaching Artist: Chari Godakanda
Learn how to get the most out of your camera by taking it off "automatic.” You will use digital photography software as a tool to make minor adjustments in balance, lighting, and contrast to create the best version of a photograph. The goals are to understand compositional rules for strong photographs and to train the eye to see. If you have a camera, bring it, otherwise the museum will provide one for your use.
Please note: this class has a 10-person limit.
