Energize your creativity by jumping into an 8-week artistic workout! Your artistic adventure will begin with boundless exploration as you seek to discover and develop your own unique artistic voice. We will stimulate our passions and invigorate our imaginations, initially relying primarily on intuition to guide the creative process. Each lesson will focus on different media and techniques. We will drip paints, rip papers, make marks, paint with our hands and loosen our minds as we play with color, line, shape and texture. The intuitive artistic process is fueled by both spontaneity and serendipity. It consists of layering paints, papers, patterns and textures, each step suggesting the next, in order to create a visual story. Through this process, you will learn how to create visual stories which are uniquely your own. We will then focus on how to finetune and enhance the impact of your work through the application of the traditional elements of composition. Each class will begin with a quick journal page warm-up, utilizing markers and watercolors, doodling and drawing to get your creativity flowing.  Lessons will end with a cool down, including a class critique, and reflections and reviews of the day’s lesson. Students will also be responsible for journaling their visual observations throughout the week using their cell phone camera or pen and pencil. These small captured moments will serve as inspiration for the next week’s lesson.(Meets in W-6, 607)

Watercolor can be fun! Loose! Spontaneous! Experimental! It can involve unexpected tools like salt or string! Find out what’s possible when you play with paint! This four-hour workshop includes instruction and support that encourages creative exploration of watercolor on a small scale using a variety of materials and tools to free up experimentation. Final works will range from spontaneous abstractions to planned renderings. Tools including sponges, string, straws, and stencil papers may be combined with additives including salt and alcohol to open a creative door to endless possibilities with watercolor.

While some known artists’ works will be referenced in conversation and through visuals, creative independence and individual expression is at the essence of this workshop.

Create a watercolor painting by using a variety of techniques involving “pouring” paint, dropping salt on wet backgrounds, or spraying water on pockets of paint, and splattering. Usually, I plan my painting by drawing an image, applying paint, then finishing the background. In this workshop, we will spend the first part experimenting with dark or medium colors “poured on” paper, then sprinkle with salt or splatter or spray with water to create a background. One sheet of 140 lb watercolor paper divided into 8 pieces will be used to create the background designs. In the second part the student will identify what emerges from the results of the pouring or salting or splattering to suggest the idea for a painting. Students will be amazed at what they can produce and design in one day workshop.  Lots of examples shown to students.
