Basic Photoshop skills required.
CONCEPT
Dive
into
centuries
of
printmaking and photographic innovation in
this intermediate workshop in photopolymer
gravure. Students
combine
turn-of-last-
century photographic publishing techniques
with cutting-edge polymer plate and digital
positive technology to self-publish editions
of photographs or drawings. Photopolymer
gravure is an intaglio technique using ink on
paper to create a continuous tone exquisite
for photo printing. The workshop provides a
bridge between photography and printmaking;
students manipulate photographs both digitally
and on the press.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students begin
with two digital files — photograph or drawing
— to print digital positives. Using these films, we
create polymer plates and print by hand on the
etching press. Experiment with ink color, hand-
wiping techniques and collage. Each student
creates an edition of five prints from one of the
two plates they create. *Some plates provided.
ACTIVITIES
Through demonstrations and
studio time, students learn to manipulate
files for plate making, create plates and print
on an etching press. Each day includes a
demonstration of technique and studio time for
working, with individualized instruction from the
instructor.

What Does Art Do? Helen Molesworth &
Simone Leigh Developing Style:
the art of composition,
light & color
CONCEPT CONCEPT
For centuries, art served the
needs of ritual, the church and the state. In the
West, this tradition was broken by the rise of the
avant-garde and artists who wanted to make “art
for art’s sake”. It’s interesting to now ask “what
does art do?” This program examines objects
and discusses them in formal, art historical,
political and personal terms, unpacking what art
does to us and what we in turn learn from art.
How can we change as a result of our encounters
with art? Helen reads from a chapter of her
forthcoming book, What Does Art Do?, focusing
on works of art that deal with love and freedom.
She is joined in conversation with artist Simone
Leigh, about whom she has written.
FACULTY
Helen Molesworth was the Chief Curator
at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los
Angeles from 2014 - 2018. While at MOCA, she
organized the group show One Day at a Time:
Manny Farber and Termite Art and the critically
acclaimed Kerry James Marshall and Anna Maria
Maiolino exhibitions. Her writing has appeared
in publications such as Artforum, Art Journal,
Documents, and October.
Simone Leigh examines ideas of the female
body, race, beauty and community. Exhibitions
include: “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and as
a Weapon”, New Museum of Contemporary
Art, New York; “Psychic Friends Network”, Tate
Exchange, Tate Modern, London; “The Waiting
Room”, New Museum of Contemporary Art,
New York; “The Free People’s Medical Clinic”,
commissioned by Creative Time; inHarlem, The
Studio Museum in Harlem at Marcus Garvey
Park, New York; and the Hammer Museum, Los

Whether you’re interested
in landscapes, portraits, photojournalism,
travel or still lives, this workshop takes your
photographs to the next level. Students explore
the building blocks that define a signature
photographic style. Students also perfect the
art of composition, light and color and develop
skills to make photographs immediately
recognizable. Photographs that go beyond
technical beauty to convey meaning and
emotion are created. Participants learn to craft
an individual style resulting in photographs with
a distinct look.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
digital cameras, a digital workflow with Adobe
Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and digital
printmaking techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Students participate in lectures,
examining photography by the masters,
photography field trips and individual and
group discussions. Each student works on an
individual project, either an ongoing body of
work or discovering pathways to something
new. As a group, students enjoy presentations,
photographic excursions and in-depth reviews
of images.
