Color Mixing This full one day, content rich, hands on color mixing workshop is for anyone interested in increasing their color mixing skills dramatically, or learning how to do it the first time. The student will learn how to work with a limited palette of pigments utilizing a scientific process, to mix any color with ease, each and every time. If you can name it, you can make it. Amazingly, by the end of the session, color mixing will now become a thoughtful, and controlled thinking process. No more frustration trying to get just the right color, and no more wasting expensive products. Soon mixing will become second nature to you. No more mixing “mud” unless you want to! Saturday, September 15, 2007 $295.00 Visual Relationships Bring your art making to a new level. In this interactive class, the students will create an inspirational journal using magazine clippings, fabrics, decorative papers etc, to use as a learning tool to explore “seeing” their environment as an artist does. While creating this body of work, the students will begin training their eyes to identify basic design elements and principles at work, as well as understanding basic color combinations that are visually appealing. Anyone interested in learning a refreshing new way to interpret their visual surroundings, and apply them to their own artwork, especially scrap booking, would enjoy this offering. 3-week sessions Mondays September 17 – October 1, 2007 2:45pm – 5:30pm (students age 13 and up) $100.00 Basic Drawing Drawing skills are fundamental to the artist’s visual education. With the assistance of the instructor, the students will begin to see the environment around them with a keener eye. As their powers of observation sharpen, they will learn to translate what they see into drawings. Concepts that will be explored are line, form, value, proportion, perspective, and composition. 6 week sessions Thursdays Sept 20 – October 25, 2007 $200.00 Materials list will be provided at registration
