5-day Workshop; October 21-25 Instructor present each day. Enrollment limited to 12 students. Please request supply list upon registration. The Expanded Dynamics of Narrative is for artists and students at all levels. We will use the traditional materials of paint, pencil and pen to explore form, color and line and how the artist's work can tell a story or convey an idea without becoming too literal or heavy handed and how expanded arts techniques can continue this story both on and off the canvas, sketch book or pad and into the environment. We will investigate nonlinear approaches and ways of augmenting ideas with collaboration and interdisciplinary forms such as print, electronic media and performance. Participants may choose their own materials and themes. An environmental art collaboration focused on the changing climate will be offered as a practical exercise.
