MORNING STUDIOS<br />
FIGURE DRAWING & PORTRAITS<br />
9:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.<br />
This workshop is based on the idea that the human figure is<br />
a gift to the artist. Working from pre-recorded videos and still<br />
images of clothed models, as well as portrait studies of yourself,<br />
you will investigate portraiture and the figure using an array of<br />
drawing materials. You will learn the facets of drawing the figure<br />
by exploring proportion, form, gesture and composition. Portrait<br />
studies are designed to give students a deeper understanding<br />
of human expression. This is an important class for students<br />
looking to enhance a college admissions portfolio! Previous<br />
observational drawing experience is required.<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY ESSENTIALS<br />
9:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.<br />
Learn the fundamental building blocks of creating a great<br />
photo through an emphasis on light, composition, color, and<br />
tonality. This class will include hands-on shooting assignments<br />
that will introduce digital photography techniques using your<br />
smartphone, as well as an opportunity to work with alternative<br />
photography processes at home. You will learn to skillfully edit<br />
your photos using mobile photo editing apps, and how to best<br />
save and share your images. You will also explore making<br />
photographic images without the use of a camera, using<br />
photo-sensitive materials to create exciting cyanotypes and<br />
lumen prints. Appropriate for all artistic levels.<br />
THE ART OF PUNK<br />
9:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.<br />
Punk rock gave rise to an art movement that has come to<br />
influence design, fashion, and visual culture around the world.<br />
Through DIY (do-it-yourself) processes adapted for the online<br />
format, students will explore the history and context of this<br />
distinctive aesthetic by way of zine-making, collage and<br />
independent publishing. Students will discover the integral role<br />
that DIY media production played in punk, feminism, and other<br />
anti-establishment movements and learn about some of the<br />
most significant producers working within this realm. Beginning<br />
with the Adobe Creative Suite and incorporating methods on<br />
and off the computer, students will develop skills in typography<br />
and design and digital to analog production methods. This<br />
workshop encourages a spirit of inclusion, collaboration and<br />
self-expression. Appropriate for all artistic levels.<br />
PAINTING AND PROCESS<br />

that have been around since the Renaissance and explore<br />
painting with alternative everyday materials. Students will<br />

demonstrate how the history of painting and its processes<br />
and materials are relevant today. Spark new ideas about<br />
painting as you learn how to create your own paints and<br />
pigments from household items, such as spices and eggs,<br />
using methods that have existed for centuries. This class<br />
will introduce the formal elements of composition, color and<br />
form through observational painting and demonstrations of<br />
techniques that are foundational to all painting processes.<br />
Appropriate for all artistic levels.<br />
GRAPHIC DESIGN FOUNDATIONS<br />
9:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.<br />
Graphic design is applied to everything visual, from road<br />
signs to board games. This workshop will introduce the<br />
process of using digital tools to create and combine<br />
symbols, images and text to visually communicate ideas<br />
and messages. By integrating digital photography,<br />
typography and your own illustrations, you’ll explore<br />
fundamental methods and principles. Projects utilize<br />
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and develop technical<br />
skills and aesthetic understanding.<br />
Appropriate for beginners. Basic computer skills are<br />
