Selective Seeing: Painting the Mind's Eye View
Instructor: Stephanie Lee
Date: Thu Sep 30, 2010 - Fri Oct 1, 2010
The mind remembers, in fuzzy or vivid detail, snippets of history and portions of the whole picture. You might remember what dress you wore the first day of kindergarten but the rest of the school year is a blur. You may even have the outline burned in your memory of the peripheral view of those who were with you when you stood for an award, but can’t for the life of you remember who those people were. Or, maybe, you remember every little detail of particular event – the people, the scents, the colors of the sky, sounds of commotion but most important to you are a few key details of the moment. The apron grandma always wore, dad’s work boots, the color of morning on the farm. Those are the details we will bring into focus in this two-day intensive exploration in dreamscaping.

VisualPoetry: Techniques in Digital Photomanipulation
Instructor: Susan Tuttle
Date: Sat Oct 16, 2010 - Sun Oct 17, 2010
Discover the magical world of digital art. Using Adobe Photoshop Elements, you'll manipulate single photos and create digital montages. Learn how to give your photos a retro/vintage feel, create diffused light effects, convert your images to black and white and sepia tones, apply textural layers for a grungy effect, and more. Explore digital montage to create landscapes with a composite of images, and fill these digital environments with figures, objects, props to create a surreal work of digital art that looks like a seamless photograph.
