Weekend Workshop
Credit: Non-Credit Only
Explore past techniques to inspire new ways of drawing! Experiment with silverpoint, chalk, and conté on a variety of historical surfaces: a beautiful and easy-to-erase silverpoint surface (tafelleten); a receptive pastel surface made from volcanic ash; and a versatile ground of acrylic gesso with calcium carbonate treatment for a variety of media. Take part in surface preparations to better understand and employ their properties, and then use them to draw from traditional subject matter such as still lifes, antique casts, and the nude figure. Perfect for drafts people interested in expanding their craft and anyone with a fascination for historical practices. Tuition includes a $10 models fee. Additionally, students should come prepared to purchase materials necessary to make the various surfaces directly from the instructor, approximately $10.
