This workshop will explore and discuss the<br />
possibilities of a drawn line transforming into a<br />

be created from observations of the interior and<br />
exterior of the EAC building. These drawings will<br />
be used as visual reference to create dimensional<br />
lines employing a wide range of traditional and<br />
alternative materials. Collectively these lines will be<br />
used to create a sculptural installation, which will<br />
occupy and interrogate the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s architecture.<br />
Students are encouraged to bring re-cycled<br />
materials and found objects to create their 3-D<br />
construction. All skill levels welcome.<br />

SITE SPECIFIC ACTION/FASHION<br />
Katrin Schnabl<br />
Saturday, October 15 and 22, 1pm – 4pm<br />

In the first session, participants will make sitespecific<br />
observations using photography, drawing,<br />
collage and journaling. These visual accounts of<br />
color, texture, form, nature, and line will be used<br />
as a concept base to develop 2-D references. In<br />
the second session, the class will use cloth as the<br />
medium and work from specific shapes, as well<br />
as site-inspired materials and observations. Class<br />
will transform these shapes into experimental 3-D<br />
‘wearables’, which in turn navigate the environment<br />
that inspired them. Supply list to come.<br />
