Creating Raw Materials for Collage – ACF21642

9/23 – 12/2, no class 11/11, 11/25
Thursdays, 9 Sessions
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Instructor: Sarah Kahn

Collage is a versatile art technique that involves endless choices and possibilities for creating art pieces by assembling different materials onto a two-dimensional surface. This class will focus first on creating “raw materials” – painted and textured papers that we will combine to create unique, personal, painterly collages. Through demonstrations and experimentation, students will learn many techniques to create raw materials, such as glazing, stippling, gesso printing, mark-making, and pigment scraping. Class will then explore basic collage techniques to create professional, well-designed works of art. No previous experience required. See website for materials list.

 

Fall Impressions Cyanotype Workshop – AWF21602

10/02 – 10/03
Saturday and Sunday, 2 Sessions
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Instructor: Kyle Mendelsohn

Make beautiful blue cyanotype prints on fabric and watercolor paper with this fun and easy two-day workshop for adults! Cyanotypes, otherwise known as blueprints, are one of the earliest forms of photography. By laying 2D objects on top of chemically treated material, you’ll create a deep blue print with bright, ghost-white silhouettes.

Bring your own fall botanicals, book pages, jewelry, tea, black and white photographic film negatives, or anything else you want to try! All other materials will be supplied by the New Art Center. At the end of day one, you’ll mount your fabric print in an embroidery hoop so that it is ready to hang. On the second day, you’ll work with cyanotype treated watercolor paper.

 

Visual Journaling Workshop – AWF21103

10/17 – 11/07
Sunday, 4 Sessions
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Instructor: Madeleine Neiman

This 4 week workshop focuses on how to keep a sketchbook as a visual journal to develop ideas and practice drawing by recording the world around you. This fun and supportive class is suitable for emerging artists as well as seasoned sketch-bookers. Students will be introduced to a variety of methods and materials. Experimentation is encouraged!

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.
