Think of this as a workshop that lasts all year - meeting once every six weeks (approximately). It's really one workshop made up of 9 one-day-long Saturday classes. By design, it is intended that students commit to 8 or 9 of the dates and pay in advance. The idea is to support each artist's quest to give priority to their art making and to encourage steady and regular time in the studio throughout an entire year. 2010 will be the fourth year that this Independent Study group will meet and all the participants feel that it has enhanced their artistic growth and development - plus, it is really fun - that is why we are doing it again!
Most of the group are working in an acrylic/collage/mixed media combination method. Some are mostly painting - in acrylic. All types of media are welcome, but, please note, I have little expertise in oil or watercolor - but can help any and all with such things as composition, color, perspective, creating space, etc.
The workshop morning is devoted to a group critique, guided by the instructor. Participants bring in completed works and/or works in progress for feedback from the group and the instructor. After a lunch break, the afternoon is a hands-on work time, with each person working on their own self-directed projects. The instructor is available at this time for advice and assistance, and impromptu lessons are often triggered and turn out to include the whole group (or whoever is interested). This is also a time when participants learn from each other. The last half hour of the day, we do a quick look around to see what everyone has accomplished during work time.
Tuition:
Participants who commit to 8 or 9 dates, and pay in advance: $120 per Saturday
Participants who choose not to commit, but who prefer to come on a drop-in basis: $135 per Saturday
Total payment in advance is preferred, but dividing the tuition into two payments, for example, one by Dec.1 and one by June 1, is fine, too.
If you need a different arrangement, let me know. These are tough times for everyone and I can be flexible.
