Paper Lithography and Chine Collé

This workshop will explore the technique of paper
lithography as well as monotype and chine colle’ (a way of
incorporating oriental paper into a print). For paper litho,
go to a copy shop and make multiple photocopies of any
images that you want to print- photographs, collaged images,
classical art,etc; high contrast prints work best. The copy
becomes the printing plate. Methods of incorporating this
technique with monotypes will be taught. A materials list
will be provided upon registration.

"Subtractive" Drawing

A basic class in drawing with concentration on learning
to see spatial relationships. Students will learn to create
space within a two-dimensional surface rather than to
render an object. The premise of the class being that a
successful drawing, painting or print allows the viewer to
enter the space created by the artist and participate in its
interpretation. We will be working from direct observation.
Please bring a medium of choice: soft pencils, charcoal,
pastels, appropriate paper and plenty of erasers: kneaded,
soft white, soap erasers and eraser sticks for detail work.
