Rescheduled for 2021!
Sitka Center for Arts and Ecology
Creativity Unleashed - 2 day workshop (in person and zoom options)
September 12-13, 2021
I'm very excited to be invited to teach at Sitka Center in 2021, in Neskowin, Oregon.
In this 2-day workshop, we will explore a wide variety of processes to open and expand your creativity. With Sitka's rich, natural environment as our muse, we'll use unconventional methods with line, color, form, mark-making to shift perceptions and perspectives of what we see. It's a focus on process rather than product to break out of old patterns and pre-conceived ideas of painting and drawing. We'll work fast-paced and loose, (need to get ahead of the critical mind!) with simple art supplies like watercolors, pen, markers, and graphite. Participants will generate 12-48 small 'snapshot' sketches in a folded journal that we'll make in class. Working on a large sheet, broken into smaller shapes takes the 'preciousness' out of each drawing. Then, upon opening, all the marvelous images become a wonderful exploration of texture, color, imagery, text and line work.
Sitka Center is taking the necessary steps to ensure a safe learning environment for students and staff during COVID-19. Updates and registration information for 2021 will be posted directly through Sitka Center’s website.
