What About Love?
Elinor Carucci & David Hilliard
IV
CONCEPT
Our best photographs are often inspired by immensely emotional, physical or
psychological pulls within our lives. In photographing people, places and even objects that we
are intimately acquainted with or drawn to, we are better able to communicate a more profound
and specific level of understanding of it through the camera’s lens. These intense feelings are the
gateway to emotionally resonant pictures. These longings can inspire and inform many working
methodologies — a narrative story, a personal journal, a documentary, a visual poem, self portraiture
and more. Many of us shy away from addressing “the emotional” within our images, but in this
workshop you are encouraged to embrace these feelings to enhance and inform your vision and
style, while delving deeper into the emotions and nuances of your life, experiences and surroundings
and how they coalesce into photographic imagery.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students use digital cameras, a digital workflow with Adobe Lightroom
and Adobe Photoshop and digital printmaking techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Students make a body of work and are guided in the realization of a personal narrative
in which they delve into ideas around love, longing and other personal and emotional explorations.
Students receive a pre-workshop assignment; there are readings, writing exercises, critiques, slide
lectures, short field trips, films and discussions.

Collage: an exploration of
photography & painting
Kate Leonard
CONCEPT
Join us for an engaging
exploration of the artistic synthesis between
two distinct art forms: photography and
painting. Students discover transfer techniques
that integrate photographic images and text
directly onto painted surfaces. Traditional
collage and photomontage are used and
participants master new methods that allow
for opaque and translucent layers. Reductive
methods such as sanding and scraping reveal
the history of earlier photographic layers and
suggest an archaeological approach to image
development. The workshop emphasizes
experimentation and exploratory approaches.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students learn
photographic and digital techniques to produce
custom translucent collage layers. Traditional
collage with photographic material, both text
and image, is presented. Digital manipulation,
including direct printing onto Japanese papers
and custom built acrylic skins, is explored.
ACTIVITIES
A range of integrated
photographic painting approaches on paper
and gessoed panels are introduced. Students
review direct collage approaches, then transition
to digital approaches; students also scan their
paintings to combine with manipulated digital
imagery.
FACULTY
Kate Leonard is a Professor of Art
at Colorado College where she directs the
Graphics Research Lab, an innovative program
in printmaking. Her work is exhibited nationally
and internationally.
