​​​​​​​​​​STYLE & SUBSTANCE 

(ONLINE CLASS)

 ​

​​

As artists and writers of all kinds, it can be challenging to recognize how we have developed a unique style in our work. It can be just as difficult to notice when we have relied on the same tropes or themes for too long. Learning more about our own developed style, or lack thereof, and examining our work for uniqueness, redundancies, and missed opportunities can strengthen it as well as increase our creative confidence. This course provides a chance to:

• thoroughly analyze your work – text-based or visual – for personal patterns

• find the words to accurately describe what you discover

• examine your creative process and work habits

• explore ways to infuse more creative variation into your work

As part of our analysis, we will look at examples of well-known career artists and their work over time to help us understand and recognize individual and collective style. You will then turn that attention onto your own collected works and revise or compose artist statements to better reflect your personal findings. As creative people, it’s important to appreciate what we’ve built so far and to surprise ourselves by what else we might be capable of. The generative part of this course will give you a chance to also try something new.

EXQUISITE CORPSES: A Collaborative Printmaking Workshop

(IN-PERSON CLASS)

​

This workshop will foster artistic collaboration via the infamous surrealist parlor game "exquisite corpse." Together we'll examine historical and contemporary examples of this method, then each participant will design and carve a small linoleum block to be printed collectively during the workshop. No prior printmaking experience is required—class demos will cover simple methods for carving and relief printing. All materials are provided, and participants will take home a copy of their group’s collaborative print. C0-taught with Sarah Wolfe.

​

Saturday, August 15, 11am-1pm Central Time

Tell City Regional Arts, 1020 11th St Ste A, Tell City, IN
