Classes And Workshops

Selling art is a difficult task. Trying to figure out the logistics of running an art business while also figuring out how to sell your art is nearly impossible. Intended for artists at all levels, this class will cover aspects of art business that aren’t covered in art school like documentation, storage, framing, transport and shipping. The goal of this class is to provide students with solutions for these potentially crippling topics at various different price levels and provide them with a solid foundation to build their art practice.

Meant as a continuation of Drawing 1, Students progress to more advanced stages of historical academic training. Students will be introduced to faster but more complicated styles of drawing and begin to study the human form.

Want to develop your interest as an artist and looking for a place to start? Whether you want to make artwork that is realistic or abstract, all art shares the same fundamentals.

Explore using various media (printmaking, collage, painting) to create your monotype artwork. In this class we will discuss the principles and elements of design, composition, and combining drawing, texture, and color to create a monotype of an image using line and plexiglass, collage, and oil painting. Students will learn to transfer an image to paper, add collage materials to enhance image, and paint into the image to create final one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork.

Budget frames cost $200-$300 and high-quality frames cost $400-$800. For any artist, framing is always a pervasive problem and sometimes a crippling cost. Fortunately, with a little bit of knowledge and the right tools and materials, it doesn’t have to be you can build the highest possible quality frame for approximately $80.

A lot goes wrong while printing editions. While the top professional shops like to pretend that their work is always perfect, the reality is that the printers who work at those shops are really good at responding to problems in prints and fixing them.

In this class, work with William Demaria, a former printer at Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), and learn all the trade secrets necessary to bring your editions to a professional level.

Art history can be a bottomless source of inspiration for artists but knowing where to look and knowing where to start can be intimidating. This hybrid studio/ lecture series will teach artists how to use art history to inspire their artwork and introduce them to interesting art movements around the world ranging from 18th century Chinese painting to Australian Impressionists and much more.
