Art is Self Discovery. The Sedona Art Retreats
offer a unique tour of self-discovery as you explore a world of creative possibilities. Sedona is known for three things: its remarkable landscape, its art-colony atmosphere and as a place for spiritual retreat. The Sedona Arts Center has wrapped these elements into a unique package where art and self-discovery fuse, creating a life-changing experience.

Watercolor Journaling
A Visual Arts Retreat
This is less a how-to-paint course than it is a lesson in training our minds to be still and our eyes to truly see. Drawing with pencil and pen and painting with simple watercolor sets, our exercises will be oriented toward exploration and discovery as a way to engage life rather than as a “serious art-making” project. In this manner we will find beauty all around us, but not necessarily a beauty that matches our predetermined expectations. Tuition: $375
Over a three-day period you will experience six different art mediums, each with their own creative energy and each taught by a different artist. Artistic journaling, ceramics, collage, photography, life mask-making and a talisman project will cross-pollinate to become a path of unique connections that is different for each individual. All materials are included. Tuition: $675

Join Sedona-based author, photographer and book designer
A spark of creativity exists within everyone. This transformative workshop uses writing as a tool to help you locate, embrace and utilize your own creative gift. We begin by examining the question of desire and how we can utilize our unique passions. Next, we turn to the fear of desire and the obstacles that prevent us from being freely creative. Our focus then turns to embracing desire, acceptance of our nature, what we wish to manifest in the world and pathways for giving birth to that personal vision. Tuition: $425
Photography, Writing and Design
Larry Lindahl for a weekend retreat of storytelling through your own creative photography, writing and book design. Practicing simple techniques to deepen appreciation of the natural world, participants will weave their photography with observational journaling to record the introspective story of their experience. By the end of the retreat each person will have completed a keepsake book to celebrate their reciprocal relationship with the natural world. Tuition: $505

In this intensive weekend workshop we will learn the advantages of plein air painting, various approaches to working on-site and how to efficiently compose and complete plein air paintings. Emphasis will be placed on using thumbnail sketches, limited palettes and the thoughtful use of colors, values, shapes, edges and textures.
One of the biggest challenges for plein air painters is to narrow down infinite amounts of detail and express the essence of a scene. Students will learn strategies for simplification, value accuracy, compositional uniqueness, and Shelby’s technique for applying complimentary colors to the white canvas as an underpainting.
Learn to capture the beauty of light in either watercolor or oils! Each day of this week-long workshop begins with a demonstration covering tools, techniques, brushwork and problem solving. She emphasizes organization and simplification of values, value-color relationships, edges, movement and mass to create dynamic, coherent compositions.

Plein Air Painting
Robert Burridge Oct 27–29, 2014
Jill Carver Nov 1–5, 2014
Timothy Horn Nov 15–17, 2014
See for yourself why painting outdoors was (and still is) so popular. Students will learn paint sketching outdoors, then finish up in the studio using all the principles of painting trees, clouds, meadows, mountains, water and abstract landscapes. But be prepared to paint looser, bolder, freer, lighter and more intuitively.
More than anything else, plein air painting is about harvesting information and ideas. Then we return to the studio to explore, edit, experiment and refine ideas. Days 1 and 2 will be spent outdoors; day 3 will be lecture/ demo using my own work; days 4 and 5 will be spent in the studio. Evenings will include dialog, analysis, critique and camaraderie.
Students will explore and paint three very different venues: the high desert vistas of Sedona, Jerome’s Victorian neighborhoods and the very special Gold King Mine, junkyard and ghost town. Instruction will focus primarily on conveying strong sunlight, clarify and pushing values achieving clean color and utilizing patterns to create strong compositions.

The class will culminate with an actual raku firing and each student will leave with a finished sculpture. This will be a fun, handson, experimental experience.
Because of its luminosity and fine line work, egg tempera is an ideal medium for rendering the human face. In this workshop you will learn every step for developing a portrait in egg tempera. Koo Schadler explains the traditional Old Master palette used to develop flesh tones. She will also work on a painting of her own, so you can see firsthand how she develops her portraits.
Through demonstration and one-on-one attention this workshop will guide you to completing an alabaster stone sculpture. The workshop will be appropriate for professional artists as well as beginners.

Join Dennis Ott, head of the ceramics department, to explore the world of clay through hand-building, slab constructions and extruding. On the last day of class there will be a wheel demonstration. All materials and lab fees are included in tuition. Students will complete three works of art from construction through glazing. Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Glazing is the application of thin layers of oil paint to achieve the translucent appearance of nature as light passes through the paint and bounces back at the viewer. In this course we will focus on light and shadow, paying attention to brushwork and edges as we build up the design. All supplies are included in tuition for new students. Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m.–Noon.
Whether you are interested in a refresher course or drawing for the first time, this class is for you. Drawing skill is prerequisite for all art work. Learning to see in terms of lines, shapes and values is essential to translating the three-dimensional world to any two dimensional surface regardless of the medium you ultimately wish to explore. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

We Thank Our Donors!
The Sedona Arts Center has been changing lives for more than 50 years! Founded in 1958, the Sedona Arts Center has been the foundation of art education in Northern Arizona for more than half a century. It’s first (and current) home was in the Jordan family’s apple packing barn. A lot has changed since then. We’ve grown and expanded, but the Art Barn remains at the heart of the organization. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization we still work to fulfill the same mission:
Our Mission The Sedona Arts Center is a nonprofit educational institution dedicated to nurturing creative discovery, learning and sharing through arts education and artistic development.
