Abstraction as Form: Seeing Abstractly with Sky Power

In abstract art we find and create our own structures. This workshop will focus on composition, spacial and color relationships, process, techniques, and developing inner trust. Class discussions emphasizing the compositional relationships of abstract and representational art will help the representational painter make the leap into abstract art. Familiarity with the use of acrylic or oil paints is the only experience required. We will work on several paintings at the same time over a two day period.

Sky Power is an abstract and figurative painter, printmaker, piano tuner, and woodworker. Active in the arts since childhood, Sky studied figure drawing with Ed Gothberg at Casper College in Wyoming, and continued her studies in fine art with Dale Owen at Cornish School of Allied Arts in Seattle, Washington, in the early seventies. An exhibiting artist since 1974, Sky has shown her work in galleries in Provincetown, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Her work is currently represented by the Berta Walker Gallery.

Surface as Metaphor with Anne Flash

In this process-oriented drawing/mixed media workshop, we will explore various methods and meanings connected to SURFACE ---- both practically and conceptually. Nonlinear narratives will be developed through selective procedures such as marking, rubbing, layering, erasing, scratching, smudging, staining, blotting, etc. Chance operations and time-mapping will be used as ways to generate composition. All sorts of 2-D images, including photographic and photocopier images will be considered fair game. A scanner and printer will be provided during the workshop, as well as various other toys and tools. Each participant can expect to take away an exciting set of work that pushes beyond his/her own conventions into new creative territory.

Masters of the American Cinema: Hitchcock, Ford, and Wilder with Howard Karren

In Hollywood's Golden Age, directors were considered to be hired hands rather than great artists, but that is a misconception. Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and Billy Wilder were comfortable working in popular genres - Hitchcock became synonymous with horror and suspense, Ford with Westerns, and Wilder with dark comedy. But each has created something far more enduring than popular entertainment as their legacy: works of profound truth and indelible beauty. In this course, students will be asked to screen a movie by one director at home each week (DVDs can be purchased or rented) - Vertigo, by Hitchcock (with Kim Novak and James Stewart), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, by Ford (with John Wayne, James Stewart, and Lee Marvin), and Sunset Blvd., by Wilder (with Gloria Swanson and William Holden). The first class will be an introduction, and each following week will focus on one director, with clips screened from selected other works.

Howard Karren received a BA from Brown University in semiotics and MFA from Columbia University in Film. He was an editor at Premiere Magazine, national film monthly, for 13 years; also at People, New York Magazine, and Sony Style, as well as Editor of Premiere's Guide to Movies on Video.

He is a superb teacher. Howard is so knowledgeable and so willing to share what he knows and give us great examples of what he is teaching.

Plein Air Painting with John Clayton

This class is designed for folks who are who have always wanted to paint as well as painters who want to learn more about painting. You don't need to be talented, you only have to give yourself permission to try.

Understanding of composition, perspective and values will be learned. John will do a demonstration on creating a simple painting.

Color Composition Workshop with Robert Henry

A three day workshop focusing on the use of color in composing paintings. This will include: creating the illusion of space with color; examining the qualities of light and shade; and the expressive and decorative use of color.

Materials and sizes at the artists' discretion, ie. paper or panels depending upon the media used.

Robert Henry's numerous one-person exhibitions include the Cortland Jessup Gallery and Barbara Inger Gallery in New York, the Janus Avivson Gallery in London, and the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown.

The Painterly Print: Monoprinting Workshop with Megan Hinton

Monotype printing is ideal for the painter who would like to produce a body of work on paper. Monoprinting also opens up the contemporary possibility of stepping away from formal easel painting. This workshop will demonstrate the basic techniques to make a successful monotype print. Some of these techniques include the process of painting on a surface suitable for monoprinting, operating a printing press, and preparing paper for printing. Examples of artists' work that employs monoprinting will be introduced. Students should come to class with an experimental outlook. All levels of painting experience are welcome from the beginner to advanced painter.

Megan Hinton's paintings and works on paper have been exhibited throughout North America. She shows her work at the South Wharf Gallery in Nantucket, MA and The William Scott Gallery in Provincetown, MA. Hinton holds degrees from Ohio Wesleyan University, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and New York University.

She is an avid traveler and admirer of the ocean, both of which inform her work. www.meganhinton.com

Hinton writes, "I teach to not only share my knowledge of art, but to act as a catalyst and guide for students of painting and drawing. My students, who come from diverse backgrounds and levels, teach me about the many possibilities and approaches to art making. Having an artistic discourse in regard to technical demonstrations, the language of art, and the significance of work by other artists not only makes my own approach to art making more clear, but gives me a better understanding of how students can expand upon and grow as individuals from their work."

All levels welcome.

Image Making with Rosalind Pace and Marcia Simon

Play with letters, words, papers, inks and found objects and discover your own unique images. Through a series of parallel visual and verbal activities including book-design, poem-making, monoprinting, lettering and collage, students generate the materials from which to create a handmade book. The form and content of the book are not pre-conceived, but discovered as students construct their books on the space of each page and in the sequence of time. The books will be filled with beautiful images and surprising revelations.
This workshop is for experienced artists and writers, as well as for beginners. It's a wonderful class for family members to take together. Children must be at least eight. Its methodology also makes it eye-opening for teachers.

It's a naturally experimental medium, perfect for the artist or beginner who wants to create a series of unique images rapidly while exploring the potential for expanding imagery endlessly through the process of reworking the "ghost". This workshop includes studio access until 4pm on Monday.

The fully stocked "green" printmaking studio has 3 etching presses suitable for intaglio, stencil, or relief work, oil based inks, printmaking papers, a variety of brayers, and a large diameter roller. The large roller is great for flat color and transferring images. Demonstrations will be based on individual needs and desires.

The Art of Collage with Karen Cappotto

Collage is a layering of thoughts and ideas as well as of paper, printed materials, graphite and paint. To the collagist, the very gathering of materials adds yet another layer of meaning. This workshop will explore basic materials and techniques used in collage and mixed media pieces. The emphasis will be on ways to apply a variety of techniques to mixed-media collage while developing a personal style. Demonstrations and discussions will encourage participants to rediscover or develop methods of layering images, paper, paint, and glue. There will be assignments provided for those seeking direction or help in overcoming creative blocks; other students may work independently on their own projects. Bring materials to class that inspire or that you would like to work with. Some additional materials will be made available for further exploration. A materials list is available for those not familiar with the medium.
