Collage to Painting Workshop with Josette Urso

5-Day Workshop
Monday-Friday, October 23-27, 2017
10am-4pm each day

This course takes a lively approach to exploring the interrelationship between collage and painting. Students will employ the historically unstructured medium of collage as a means of sketching and as a springboard for ideas in painting. Work will begin simply, becoming progressively more complex as students are urged to push the limits of both the mediums and their ideas. As the work done in one medium assists and influences one’s vision in the other, the collaboration between process and concept will encourage the production of less planned and more unexpected images.

The aim is to refresh the artist’s vision while introducing the students to the painterly possibilities of alternative media. New media spark new ways of thinking, and collage is a rich medium providing an infinite range of possibilities. Through suggestion and demonstration, work will proceed with exercises that are both conceptually and technically based. These exercises lead into personal projects that probe the student’s creative matrix and provoke awareness and personal vision.

Limited to 12 students.

Cost: Member $375 / Non-Member $425
