During this class, students will learn to use paper collage techniques to render images in various ways and to varying degrees. We will also explore the use of ink pens, colored pencils, markers, and paint to create different images, sometimes using existing images (a la traditional collage) with our mixed media processes to create new compositions.

Fabric and textiles are tied to all of us: from family heirlooms that hold nostalgic meaning to scraps of hot pink fur from Joann’s art supply. In this class, students will create mixed media, collage paintings using their own background and photos as a point of inspiration. Students will learn about contemporary collage artists and painters such as Deborah Roberts and Hugo McCloud, and work to improve color theory, build dynamic compositions, and use good craftsmanship with mixed media techniques. This will be a fun and creative way to explore a range of materials, take risks in the studio, and preserve our memories from this time.

“Linocut”, also known as linoleum block printing, has a rich history over the last century and remains an extremely versatile and popular technique for artists today. This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of relief printmaking, covering several ways to utilize linoleum blocks including reduction printing and jigsaw printing. Students will use Art League’s etching press to create editions of prints in black and white and full color, and will also learn how to ink their blocks creatively to create effects and monoprints.

No prior printmaking experience is necessary. Oil-based printing inks and newsprint will be provided for the class.

Studio 2

In this 2-day workshop, participants will become familiar with key terms, concepts, texts and examples regarding socially engaged art, also known as social practice. Group and individual exercises will provide space for discussion and experiential learning around a few topics of focus: personal and community context, non-hierarchical relationships, and social change through art. Through our time together, participants are invited to consider how principles of socially engaged art could be applied to their own creative practices.
