Discussions will revolve around conceptual thinking and specific media practices. Participants can bring 1-3 pieces of original artwork and should come prepared with questions for feedback.

Magic Hour Lighting: Photography Techniques
The Focus of this workshop will be to master natural light and use it to your advantage in your photographs to create an image you are proud of! The workshop will begin with in classroom instruction with new tools and techniques that you can use when we go out in the field to shoot. As this is a multi-day class, we will debrief in the beginning of each class where we will review and critique together the work done the evening before. We will then head out into the field to shoot during Magic hour through Sunset. Understanding and using ambient light is the most important tool to create amazing landscapes. The class will be held in the evening in order for students to practice their new skills in the best possible light.
Rebekah believes in a “learn by doing” approach as the best way to grow as a photographer. In the field, Rebekah will answer questions and solve problems as they arise while you are shooting. She will take you to some of her favorite spots for beautiful evening landscapes in and around the Park City area. Please bring a tripod and filters if you have them.
Explorations in Painting II
Take time to relax and learn to paint with either acrylic or oil paints in this class (student’s choice). Students will learn to paint from references – either photographs and/or still life sets. Students can bring in their own photographs to paint. By the last day of class, students will have the skills necessary to continue painting on their own, or advance to another class.
