CONCEPT In this ever-present digital world, artists are drawn to digital imagery and technology as CONCEPT
a way to advance their paintings and collages. This workshop teaches painters how to make personal
and intimate images by combining digital and handmade techniques. Using these techniques,
including “the Juarez method”—which applies layers of transparency using rice paper and images—
students create a visual and contextual conversation in their work. Students also learn to combine
studio sketches, collage materials and digital content to make personal and original statements.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Drawing, painting, collage and natural objects are combined with
digitally-found images, scanned images and work created on the computer. Students learn the
best methods for scanning two- and three-dimensional objects and artwork and investigate collage
practices with and without the use of a computer. Students also study the elements of Photoshop
that allow artists to digitally paint, draw and otherwise alter found and created images. Students work
in sizes up to 20” x 24”.

Few places in the world are more
spectacular than Colorado in September. The
landscape is awash with oranges and golds
as trees, mountains and meadows meet the
coming winter. This autumn workshop is
designed to capture this specific period of the
year. Due to changes in weather and the amount
of precipitation, the foliage colors and patterns
can drastically change year to year, giving truly
unique photographic opportunities for those
who like visiting Colorado every fall.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
ACTIVITIES There are critiques and discussions about works in progress, as well as demonstrations
of digital imaging and collage techniques. Students have plenty of time to practice these techniques
under the guidance of faculty and staff. Students use
iPhones and select camera apps to capture,
edit and catalog images. Students discuss
camera techniques for aesthetic and technical
application in the field.
