If spending two days trying something new, fun and exciting sounds intriguing, then this two-day STUDIO workshop is for YOU! It is not uncommon in contemporary art for artists to incorporate many media in their work. Photo transfer is a process used often to create unusual and interesting art. Through demonstration and experimentation you will master the techniques used to produce photo transfers and learn how to use them in your own work, whether they are incorporated with painting or mixed media. Robert Rauschenberg is an example of a master artist who used photo transfer in his mixed-media work. We will also learn various methods of painting on photos which will stimulate and motivate you to try wonderful and imaginative contemporary work! There are numerous new products on the market which can be utilized in conjunction with printing and painting on photos. Artists such as Andy Warhol, Alex Katz, Elizabeth Peyton and many others paint vibrant and contemporary portraits directly from photos. You will be surprised at how easy and delightful these processes are once you have learned how to work with them. Because we always review the basic elements and principles of art, and because of the variety of materials and techniques, all levels from beginner to advanced will feel comfortable.
Materials: The Instructor will furnish some of the supplies needed. A materials list will be sent to you after registration. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail Rivian at 4choux@sbcglobal.net or via http://rivian-shareart.blogspot.com or www.rivianbutikofer.com.
