Printmaking is the process of transfer from matrix (created/manipulated surface) to printed surface. This open ended definition means that print encompasses so many methods and processes. In this class, we will run through 5 different methods of printmaking! Methods will be introduced early on and students will practice through “minis.” Then students will have opportunities to work on larger projects with methods they want to develop on. These methods can be built upon in our intermediate classes or give you the skills needed for independent studio use! Methods include: Monotype (painterly), Relief (woodblock), Intaglio (Engraving), Screen Printing, Collagraph (Texture printing) PRICE: $299 for 12 Week Class. This class is taught by Carlissa.

Better, more confident figure drawing comes from better understanding the superficial anatomy of the body. Knowing what is causing the planar changes in the torso and limbs gives you immediate insight into how to add value and linework to your drawing. We will be beginning a course of study over the next year with this intent in mind. We will isolate sections of the body and begin with the skeletal structure working from reference and observation, followed the next week by studying the superficial muscles, ligament and tendons, and the following week working from a model. We will follow that pattern until we work our way through the full anatomy and then we will move forward working from live models, supported by good anatomical reference as a reminder of topographical changes to be aware of. This class is taught in English. PRICE: $360.00 USD. This class is taught by Bruce Robertson and Shelley Young.
