Kate Leonard
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
