In this two-day workshop, you will paint directly from life to develop skill in observing and simplifying complex visual information into broad areas of value and color. This approach will help you to paint the effects of light rather than the light itself, resulting in compositions that are dynamic and convincing.

CONCEPT

EXPERIENCE

The first day of this workshop will emphasize observation - walking, sitting, listening, touching, looking from various locations and vantage points within Peninsula State Park, followed by time to record and document. On the second day, meet in the studio to share, organize, and construct artworks using your documentation as the raw material. Suitable for all levels, but those with an existing practice in a visual or non-visual medium will most benefit.

Kyle will discuss and demonstrate a variety of color and value concepts, including modern color theory, identifying value, mixing color, building harmony, and the strengths and weakness of modern organic, mineral, and earth pigments. Working both in the studio and en plein air, you will paint the large masses and shapes of your composition first, which will act as a foundation to build sophisticated color and value. Expect to work quickly and with large amounts of paint.

INSTRUCTOR An award-winning artist, Kyle Martin enjoys painting a variety of subjects from life, including landscapes, still life, figures, and barns. In his workshops, he teaches the importance of elements, including design and value; liberating students to paint quickly with juicy brushwork and rewarding results. His work is represented by The Vault in Reedsburg, WI, and Outside the Lines in Galena, IL.

CONCEPT

Spend two days creating beautiful jewelry that shows contrast in surface and design using stamps, hand texturing, and silver dust fusing. This workshop will address not only surface design, but also ring and cuff bracelet construction and stone setting.

EXPERIENCE

Learn to make a variety of plates, both wheel thrown and hand built, on which the decorative techniques of sgrafitto, mishima, and resists will be explored. Create works that transcend their function and become more meaningful through surface treatment.

Beginning with stamping and texturing, Aisha will introduce metal stamps, as well as tips and tricks to stamp successfully every time. Texturing with hammers and found objects, such as concrete and old steel wire, will also be used to make cuff bracelets and a handful of stacking rings. Sizing, forming, and soldering will be demonstrated and discussed. The second day will focus on silver dust fusing to add surface interest through two intermediate level projects, including a spinner ring and a pair of earrings with set stones.

SILVER LINING KIEU PHAM GRAY

KICKSTARTER: IDEA TO FORM KIEU PHAM GRAY

THE FIGURE IN CLAY ROBIN POWER

CONCEPT

Texture and surface are a great way to add distinct design elements to any jewelry piece. However, textured sterling silver sheet can be extremely cost-prohibitive. This workshop will focus on texturing your own metal for a variety of applications.

Ideas come and go, but some stick in our minds with a burning desire to come to life. The question is how to bring them to fruition. Join Kieu and a group of your peers to share ideas and problem solve in an open forum.

EXPERIENCE

This workshop investigates sculpting the human figure through a methodical and anatomical approach. While hand building from observation, you will gain an understanding of the planes of the figure, gesture of the body, and human expression.

Using the rolling mill, metal stamps, hammers, and more, explore methods for creating interesting marks and textures in sterling silver. Transform your handtextured sheets into components for a necklace, bracelet, or earrings.

The first half of the workshop will be spent discussing each student’s ideas and the best techniques to accomplish the project. This setting will provide you with a variety of perspectives on the challenges of your design. The remainder of the day will be dedicated to kickstarting fabrication. You will likely not finish your project, but this experience will provide you with the tools you need to complete your piece at home.

Workshop ID: 3D1814 Date: Aug 3-4 • 9am-4pm Media: Clay Skill Level: I-II Member: $225 • Non-Member: $250 Plus materials fee. CONCEPT The maquette is a time-honored tradition of making a small-scale model or rough draft of an architectural work or sculpture. These drafts provide a wealth of information; they can be observed, rotated, and immersed in any lighting environment. Maquettes are a great way for painters and sculptors alike to realize and adjust their vision of a composition.

EXPERIENCE Prepared with an idea for your composition ahead of time, create rough models out of clay, plaster, and cardboard to work out issues of scale, proportion, and harmony, as well as experiment with lighting and arrangement. The focus of this workshop will be on the construction of the maquette for students to bring home and use as a resource for painting or further sculpting.

CONCEPT

How does a portrait in a particular location offer more information about the person in the frame? How can the environment act as a metaphor of interiority or show you what the person cares about and how they spend their time? Over the course of two days, explore examples of environmental portraiture - the act of photographing subjects in specific places.

Some photographs convey a story, a narrative that veers on the cinematic. These photographs appear to have a beginning already in motion, a dramatic situation in progress, and a conclusion that is up to the viewer to complete. How do you as a photographer create a scene specifically to photograph it?

EXPERIENCE Often environmental portraiture focuses on where people spend time working or living, but in this workshop you will include the natural surroundings of Door County as well. Focus will be place on working mostly with what you have, including the available light and circumstances around you. Use your camera to talk to strangers and find out more about their life. Familiarity with your camera is required for this workshop.

As a group, examine the work of Cindy Sherman’s Film Stills and Gregory Crewdon’s Twilight, as well as others. Analyze these photographs and discuss considerations like character, conflict, lighting, props, and logistics. Write a story for the sake of photographing it, and together scout a location, cast a lead and supporting cast, and photograph the story as it unfolds. As a group, the class will make films that are one frame in length.

From the Ashes: Charcoal on Paper Aug 17-Sept 15, 2018

Charcoal was one of the first art mediums, having been introduced in early cave paintings. In fact, purists create their own charcoal much in the same way the caveman did; by charring wood. Limiting the creation of artwork to charcoal and paper also provides a study of the importance of proper values in making a work successful.

DOOR COUNTY

Travel & Accommodations Located on a 75-mile peninsula and surrounded by the waters of Green Bay on the west and Lake Michigan on the east, Door County has more than 300 miles of picturesque shoreline, sandy beaches, rocky bluffs and large tracts of undisturbed woodlands. Ten lighthouses still guard the harbors and the more than 40 islands of the county.

Tourists first came to Door County in the 19th century on schooners before there were roads. Much of Door County’s beauty and character has since been preserved in county and state parks, wildlife refuges, private preserves, sanctuaries, and trusts. Door County emerged as an art colony early in the 20th Century, and out of it grew Peninsula School of Art. Throughout the quaint harborside towns and the pastoral interior dotted with picturesque farms and orchards, quality art galleries and studios reflect Door County’s deserved reputation for culture in the country. The
