Teen Mixed Media Photography for Teens
Yana Payusova Kinetic & Interactive
Sculpture: intro to Arduino CONCEPT CONCEPT
Chelly Jin
Learn how to combine images
and words into hybrid works of art that provoke
the viewer and tell a story. Students explore
various collage techniques and mixed-media
approaches. These could include direct overlays
(such as affixing photographic imagery to
canvas and painting over it), or inscribing words
and/or images across the surface of paintings,
drawings, or sculpture.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
explore cut-and-paste photographic collage,
digital collage, graffiti stenciling, growing and
scanning bacteria, drawing and painting with
ink and watercolors directly on photographic
imagery. Students have ample studio time, and
engage in in-process critiques as well as image
presentations.
ACTIVITIES
Demonstrations are followed
by hands-on experimentation. Each day
includes group discussions, digital and painting
demonstrations, exercises, one-on-one help
and plenty of time to create in the studio.
FACULTY
Yana Payusova was born in
Leningrad, USSR. Classically trained as a painter
at the St. Petersburg Fine Art Lyceé, she later
immigrated to the United States. She received
an MFA from the University of Colorado,
Boulder. Yana’s paintings and sculptures blend
the styles and symbols of folk art, Russian icons,
graphic poster art, illustration and comics, and
reflect her cultural heritage and her training in
traditional Russian realist painting. Yana exhibits
both nationally and internationally. She currently
teaches at the University of Arizona.

Explore the exciting world of
Arduino, where code and tangible media
intertwine. In this workshop, students
are introduced to basic electronics and
programming using the Arduino platform,
while applying these skills into dynamic
sculptural creations. The limitless possibilities of
developing code and mechanics are examined.
These tools are not only approachable, but can
be remade into anything from our imagination.
Participants rethink applications of the
technology, apply an interdisciplinary approach
to art making, and are inspired by a sense of
wonder.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
explore various ways to integrate Arduino
mechanics with paper sculpture to craft kinetic
and interactive work, be it in the form of still
sculpture, mobile sculpture or wearables. Begin
with creating interactive mechanics using code,
an Arduino Uno, sensors and LED lights. Then,
students design the sculptural element using
various treatments of paper (folding, mâché,
painting). We then explore ways to bring these
two together to make physically moving and
interactive work.
ACTIVITIES
There are demonstrations,
followed by hands-on experimentation.
Students receive tech demos and participate
in group discussions and brainstorm exercises.
Each student works on an individual project
with one-on-one help from faculty and staff.
FACULTY
Chelly Jin is a designer and artist
based in Los Angeles whose work synthesizes
data, technology and art to illustrate narratives
through interaction and creative research. She
received her BA from the University of California,
Los Angeles in Design Media Art.

CONCEPT
Nurture passion for photography
through an atmosphere of exploration, practice
and play in this dynamic workshop. Students
examine how great photographs engage us
visually, emotionally and intellectually. Image-
making abilities are improved by focusing on
both the technical aspects of a photograph
and the ideas behind it. Participants work on
storytelling, capturing the environment and
digital image creation using Adobe Photoshop.
Techniques to take better and more unique
photos are discussed. Students learn to edit in
Adobe Photoshop, retouch photos and discover
ways to combine, blend and mix photographs
together as well as view and discuss important
photographs from the past and present.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use a
digital camera with manual exposure capabilities
and a tripod as well as Adobe Photoshop to
edit, process and combine images. There are
excercises outside in the natural environment
and in the studio with controlled lighting as well
as on green screen.
ACTIVITIES
Students
learn
digital
camera functions, shooting skills and image
processing. Students increase their knowledge
of contemporary photography with in-class
demonstrations, hands-on computer instruction
and daily indoor and outdoor shooting projects.
FACULTY Conor King received his MFA from
Pratt Institute. He has been a member of the art
faculty at several colleges and universities since
2009, including the University of Colorado,
Boulder. He has shown his work nationally and
internationally, has been a resident artist at
RedLine Denver, and served on the board at
the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, where
he also assisted with exhibition development.
Conor is a founding member of Tank Studios,
where his studio is currently located.
