July 9 - 20, 2018: Observational Drawing Skills
Taught by Mandy Theis
This atelier intensive explores drawing and design principles. Participants will complete a series of increasingly more difficult projects as they learn and practice complex observational skills. Projects will include working from a 19th century drawing curriculum known as the Charles Bargue Drawing Course, still lifes, and cast drawing. By increasing visual literacy through this training, participants will be able to apply new drawing skills to future projects and greatly expand their content base for their classroom practices. Lesson plans will be provided as a resource for teachers to incorporate observational drawing skills into their curricula.
July 23 - August 3, 2018:
Oil Painting
Taught by Mandy Theis
Explore the nuances of chroma, value, and hue through this two-week course that teaches participants how to use a full color palette to create realistic paintings. Participants will build their skills in painting through custom-tailored projects. The "Boston School" approach will be employed to teach students accurate color matching, edge work, and creating effects with paint.
All supplies will be provided.
