Treating collage, assemblage and chance as open-ended approaches, this course is designed for artists interested in furthering mixed media exploration in their personal work. Beginning with materials drawn from their own households, students will use process-driven methods to explore extended definitions of image-making, painting (acrylics, oils, and watercolors), collage, and drawing. Emphasis is placed on low-tech, hands-on, chance-driven, and improvisational techniques in the contemporary fields of painting, assemblage, and collage. We will also explore and investigate contemporary and art-historical approaches to collage, assemblage, the found object, and the ongoing relevance of these techniques to artists working across and between mediums.

Ever found yourself hesitating in front of a blank page?

In this foundational course, you will build sensitivity, control, and confidence through the simplicity of line. We begin with the most essential skill— your relationship with the pencil, developing a responsive connection between eye, hand, and mind. Through guided exercises inspired by traditional Chinese line practice, you will explore variations of pressure, speed, and rhythm to create lines that feel alive and intentional. Over time, you will learn to draw forms through motion, where line becomes a natural extension of your movement.

This is a class that introduces the same concepts in different ways for each session and is for all levels of skill and experience. Emphasis is put on process over product, and we will almost always work in multiples in order to try different applications of each week’s lesson. We will work with still life arrangements and your imagination to create narrative work, as well as intuitive world-building based on combining materials as you go.

Perspective is often considered the ‘bones’ of a painting or a drawing but is also said to be one of the hardest things to learn about drawing. Learning the lingo, such as horizon lines, vanishing points, and foreshortening, can be challenging but not impossible to learn. This class will help bridge the technical concepts of perspective and simplify how to translate our three-dimentional world onto a two-dimentional surface. The focus will be on urban landscapes and interior spaces. Obtaining a good understanding of perspective will provide a foundation for more accurate and believable sketches and paintings.
