Earth Pigments, are mined clay that have naturally occurring colorant. Natural Dyes are derived from plant matter, fungus, lichen, and certain insects and shell fish. This coloring is the first known to man and has long been a practice in indigenous communities throughout the world. Participants will study colorants from a historical lens and experiment with applications of earth pigments and natural dyes and their uses in alternative forms such as paint, watercolor/gouache, lake pigments, and pastels.

Students will also explore the possibilities of applying motion to a still image and capturing video with a DSLR camera and working in Adobe Photoshop and AfterEffects. Through controlled experimentation with these techniques we will explore the practical and conceptual aspects of photography in the digital era and the relationship between the still and moving image. The course format will consist of lectures, demonstrations, assigned projects, critiques, and in-studio work time that will result in a self-driven final project.

WHEEL THROWING CSCE 326 Joshua Hebbert | Tuesday | 6:30 – 9:45 pm | Sept 3 – Nov 9 | 12 sessions 1.5 credits | $660This class focuses on using the potter’s wheel to create a body of work.

A variety of processes, tools, and strategies for both representational and non-objective drawing are introduced. Students investigate more complex compositions and a range of subjects including the figure, interior and exterior space, narration, abstraction, color, frame, mark, and scale. Within this broadened conceptual framework, students gradually approach more individualized problems, so that by the conclusion of the course they are prepared to work with greater independence. Prerequisite: Learning to Draw (CSDR 101A) or equivalent experience. Note: Students should bring a box of soft vine charcoal, a 18 by 24 inch pad of Strathmore 400 drawing paper, and a drawing board to the first class meeting.

On site at NHSM, participants will focus each week on a different aspect of the collection, where they will spend time to closely observe and render a variety of natural forms. Consideration will be given to watercolor techniques, properties of transparent pigments, color mixing, basic brush strokes, paper, and palettes. In addition, students learn how to observe the interaction of color in nature and establish successful color relationships in their compositions.

This course introduces the essential concepts and techniques of acrylic painting through still life, self portrait, the figure, and abstraction. Class sessions explore the uses of acrylic paint as a medium and its ability to render light, form, and space through descriptive and expressive means. Topics include basic technical control of materials and tools, methods of application, color mixing, the use of media, mixedmedia applications, and the preparation of the surface (paper, canvas, and panel).

Topics of study will be student driven and may include abstraction, expressionism, art-brut, and representation. We will also investigate surfaces and layering, grounds and supports, and color theory. Prerequisite: Learning to Paint (CSPT 201A) or equivalent experience.

GRADES K–2: REIMAGINING STORIES NCYP 103TBA | Saturday | 1 – 3:30pm | Sept 28 – Dec 7 | 10 sessions | non-credit | $360When a story is over, have you ever wondered, what happens next? Young artists put on their author hats and dream up visual sequels, prequels, plot twists, new characters, and “what if’s” for award winning stories we read each week. This story mashup class allows our best story tellers to use their imaginations all while engaging in specific art processes each week that develop fine motor skills and knowledge of art media.

Works from past and contemporary artists will be used to emphasize the incredible diversity of styles and expressiveness that can be achieved with color.
