2D Techniques: Armor and Camouflage: Patterns of Protection

Session 1 Theme: Bring your hiking boots as we head into nature! Participants will seek out plants armored with thorns and tough bark. Search for fashionable camouflaged insects hidden in plain sight. We will find new ways to observe and capture overlooked and underestimated protections of nature in this 2-D technique-driven course.

Session 1 Projects: Participants will undertake projects in areas such as botanical illustration, gestural collages of insects mid-action, and printmaking as they explore active and passive armor in the natural world. Methods of creative documentation will inspire both individual skill-building work as well as collaborative artmaking.

3D Techniques: Domestic Playgrounds & Wild Furnishings

Session 2 Theme: Explore playground structures and interior furniture that wards off or welcomes participants and sitters. By stylizing traditional interior and exterior leisure spaces, we send messages with the selection of materials and arrangement of pieces which impacts others and ourselves in our multi-faceted identities in this 3-D technique-driven course.

Session 2 Projects: Dive deep into three-dimensional representations of playground equipment and interior design. Discover new ways to create models or larger-scale works that represent a sense of self as well as connection to others using mixed media techniques. Students will apply newfound skills in mediums like fiber arts, sculpture, and collage to a collaborative construction illustrating the spaces we navigate together
