DIRECTOR'S NOTES

"Leafblower" by Christopher Gowell

I’m especially fond of taking Winter classes when it seems like there is more time for introspection and creativity. Our classes offer a wide range of ways to exercise that creative spark and connect with others who have similar interests. I take classes as a way to keep motivated and productive. Even as a seasoned artist, I need that push of being responsible to a schedule and other’s expectations. Great teachers allow me to progress further than I am able to alone.

with

Alemany

Anthony Alemany offers his first daytime class- Anatomy of the Human Head (SA 16). Explore the internal structures of the head. Sculpt a skull, learn the muscles by building them and then draw portraits from a live model. Anthony also offers Sketching in Clay from Life (SA 15). Learn to capture the essence and gesture of a pose as you model the figure quickly from life. Classes include armature building, demonstrations and working from several live models.

Jewelry & Metalsmithing with Alice Carroll

Alice Carroll offers her usual Jewelry & Metalsmithing class (SA 19) as well as Jewelry & Metalsmithing for High School Students (SA 22) which meets for 6 weeks in April and May. She also offers two workshops, Hinged Bracelet (SA 20). and Bezel Set Seaglass Cuff Bracelt (SA 21). Alice is a master jeweler who loves to teach what she knows. Her students can attest to her awesome teaching abilities.

Figure in Watercolor with Russel Whitten

Russel Whitten teaches Figure in Watercolor (SA 4). Painting the figure in watercolor can be a challenge.This class will provide training in how we see forms, color and values abstractly, as derived from nature. How the human figure exists visually in an environment will play as a key element to this class.

Crafting Stories in Figure Painting with

Joshua Langstaff

Joshua Langstaff presents Crafting Stories in Figure Painting (SA 5), a 12 week class that focuses on painting a clothed figure from a live model, arranged in a scene that suggests a compelling narrative. Beginning with a meticulous drawing and then developing an underpainting emphasizing paint texture and dramatic dark and light contrasts, students will progress to a pass of color painting and end with a refined touch of glazing. Joshua also offers two workshops for those who have less time to spend in a classroom. Atmospheric Portrait Drawing (SA 12) and Mastering Light & Shadow in Oil (SA 13) are both worth your attention.
