Beginner to Intermediate, Young Adults & Adults 
Instructor: David Vickers

This course introduces participants to some basic techniques, tools, and materials for relief printmaking. Beginning with collagraphy and stamping we will create one-of-a-kind individual prints. Easily accessible tools and materials are then emphasized as we experiment with poly-foam printing plates and water-based markers to produce multiple prints as note cards. Finally, we advance to carving printing blocks

from linoleum, printing with ink, and establishing proof prints and edition prints. All of our printing will be done by hand without presses. While content suggestions for prints may vary with the materials, individual expression is strongly encouraged. Ideas for work formulated outside of class are welcomed. References to known artists who have produced relief prints will be included in discussions and through visuals. (Meets in W-6, Room 602)

Ever wonder about those thousands of paint samples at Home Depot or Lowes? Where do they get those colors and where do they get those crazy names? What artistic re-purposing could transform these samples and their arbitrary names into art? This is a workshop that can answer those burning questions for you! This workshop challenges participants to engage in the artistic re-purposing of commercial paint samples as elements of small collages incorporating inlay techniques. Work by known artists including Frank Stella and Henri Matisse will be referenced in discussion and through visuals. Participants will also craft poetry that involves the prolific and arbitrary names that paint manufacturers assign to each season’s colors. Haiku will provide the template for our writing. There will be an opportunity at the workshop’s end for sharing our poems and collages. Each participant will take away at least two small collage compositions mounted on a rigid backing and two transcribed haiku poems on paper. The image and the text may be displayed together or independently.

Oil and water don’t mix. We all learned that in school. What can we do creatively with that fact? Watercolor and oil-based crayons clash and out of that comes amazing art! Pushing it further, what if we cast light through the lively paintings? Wouldn’t that make for an awesome lamp? Try this workshop and find out! In this three-hour, two-part workshop participant will explore techniques for creating abstract compositions on paper using oil-based crayons and watercolor. These compositions may then be transformed into cylindrical free-standing lamps with a base and wiring. By lighting the designs from within, the colors and patterns become transformed and an aesthetic endeavor also becomes a useful object. Known artists who work with abstract pattern and color including Mondrian and Kandinsky will be referenced in discussion and through visuals. Each participant will take away at least one finished composition transformed into a free-standing cylindrical lamp (approx. 12 x 5 inches).
