Learn all you have ever wanted to know about mosaics. This class is meant for both beginners and experienced students. All materials and tools are provided to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made of glass you have nipped yourself. We learn how to design, choose color, form the lines and shape the end in a fantastic piece of art. Beginners work on a project that will be on a shape of your choosing (shrine, heart, crown is my favorite). By the end of class you will be confident in all the skills needed to create art in this medium. Returning students will work on their own custom personal project, and are welcome to personally consult Katherine with their ideas and design (email us for Katherine’s contact details). A wonderful class for both beginners and experts to explore the mosaic medium!
Wednesday
Critique Night I
Join us for a free monthly peer-to-peer critique night on the last Wednesday of each month! We invite you to bring your original artwork (finished or in-progress), to give and receive constructive feedback from fellow artists. Our goal is to create and foster a collaborative and open environment that is supportive and critical for practicing artists in our community. 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. Please come ready to participate, and feel free to stick around after the critique and join the group for food/drinks at a walkable restaurant location to continue the conversation. Pre-registration is encouraged, space is limited to 12 participants.
Explorations in Painting I
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.
Wheel Throwing for Teens II
All skill levels welcome! Learn the tricks of success for making clay objects on the wheel. If you have never thrown before this is the best class to learn the basics of the potter’s wheel. Students are also welcome to practice their skills for improvement. We will start with cups and bowls for students to gain confidence on the wheel. As students advance, they are welcome to come up with their own sculptural wheel thrown designs. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 10-12 days after the class session is finished.
Digital Photography for Teens
Students learn about in-camera control. Learn about the functions in your camera while in automatic and manual settings. Each day students show photographs on a projector and then discuss new techniques. Students go out in the field and take photos with the instructor during class exploring beautiful Park City. Students will either walk to local destinations, or will take city transit to visit the White Barn or other picturesque places. Students will have a small collection of photographs that tell a story by the last day of class, plus the skills and knowledge to continue on their own. This is a great way to have students learn to take awesome summer photos. No cell phone cameras, please.
Intro to Watercolors for Teens
There is so much to learn when creating paintings in watercolor. Learn and have fun with Anna as she teaches students how to paint with watercolors using water resist techniques with tape, salt, and oil pastels. Every lesson is a happy experiment, and the students love the amazing results! Come and enjoy a relaxing watercolor class with Anna!
