June 24 — 28 David Hilliard, Boys Tethered (detail) III 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.

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. www.kateleonardstudio.blogspot.com TUITION $1,200 TUITION $1,155 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,400 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,355 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $150 CODE P0407-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 11 CODE P0408-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 10 | | photography & new media 21 Elinor Carucci, The woman that I still am #2 (detail)
