 Classes2010 Summer Class ScheduleMelanie Parke Summer Classes Gouache: Color and Form w/ Melanie Parke July 13, 2010 10am - 4pm The Old Art Building, Leland, MI Introducing gouache to all skill levels. Like watercolor, gouache is water based, has a wide range of transparency and allows easy transport and clean up. Unlike watercolor however, it offers greater body for layering, opacity and brilliance. This intensive one day course will draw upon observation in and out of the studio. Stressing shape, form and color investigation- we will spend the afternoon doing exercises focused on loose, expressive and fresh discoveries. Come prepared to experiment with design and abstraction. Instruction is centered toward personal direction. A variety of approaches will be demonstrated, informal critiques and discussions of traditional to contemporary genres will be available. Class limit 13. $125 Materials List coming soon Also being taught by Melanie Parke at the Old Art Building, Leland..... Drawing as Experience w/ Melanie Parke July 15, 2010 10am - 4pm The Old Art Building , Leland, MI Strategies in rigorous visual practices to develop informed, ambitious and disciplined seeing is the focus of this one day intensive workshop, open to all skill levels. Exploring how the language of line and shape convey the fundamental nature of form will serve as a catalyst in experiencing personal and aesthetic meaning. We will work from nature both inside and outside, in sketchbooks and on large paper. The emphasis will be on immediacy, personal memory, engaging trust between hand and eye response, and generating a rich vocabulary of mark making. Instruction is centered toward personal direction. A variety of approaches will be demonstrated, informal critiques and discussions of traditional to contemporary genres will be available.
