4405 | Portraits in Cut Paper
Laura Schultz
The art of cutting paper has a rich and varied history; in fact the
Dutch masters of the 18th century could cut paper so finely that
it looked almost like a painting or a drawing. In this weekend
workshop, students will investigate many historical examples of
portraits in cut paper and learn how to create effects of light and
shadow by “drawing” with a blade. One finished portrait should be
accomplished during the workshop. Students will work from good
quality head/shoulder photographs of persons and/or animals they
are asked to provide along with other materials. See SSA website
for a materials list.

encaustic with
mixed media
Michelle Belto
While there are a multitude of substrates available to encaustic
artists, none are as satisfying as the texture and feel of paper.
This workshop builds on that inspiration, by employing handmade
paper as a substrate for encaustic applications. The first half of
the workshop will focus on learning the wet process of making
paper sheets that can be pulp painted, wrapped and adhered to
other supports, or cast as sculptural forms. In the second half,
students will learn how to apply various encaustic processes to
these handmade paper supports, including mixed media applications
of image transfer, collage, pouring, embedding, foil and gold leaf.
Students will have ample time to create several completed works
exploring the lusciousness of the encaustic surface. Please see the
SSA website for a materials list.

Cecilia Hancock
Basic forming techniques used to construct hand-built sculpture
with an emphasis on the human figure will be the focus of this
class. Students will be guided in developing a narrative of their own
devise — be it fictional, self-experiential, and symbolic or based
on a historical fact. Students will also develop an understanding of
how to utilize space using their sculptural construction as a canvas.
Demonstrations in surface techniques will include relief, basic
textures, carving, under glaze layering, washes of oxides and glazes.
The pieces will be fired at low-temperature in electric kilns and
participants will be encouraged to learn the process of loading and
unloading electric kilns. Prerequisite: Previous experience in hand
building can be useful but not necessary.

Andréa Keys Connell | Richmond, VA
Simple facial gestures can convey deep emotional qualities. This
workshop will focus on techniques used to create emotive portraits
in clay. Each student will be taught how to hollow build a bust
and sculpt their desired character. Students will focus on how to
communicate the desired emotion to the viewer through gaze and
gesture, gender, age, and time. Since this workshop is based on
sculpture techniques, time will not permit the firing of pieces made
during the workshop; however, students will be able to bring their
finished greenware home. Clay is not included in the workshop, but
will be available for purchase from the ceramic studio.

8001 | Basic Drawing
Kate Terrell, Chris Sauter, Michele Monseau & Sabra Booth
Drawing is a learned skill based on hand-eye coordination. Anyone
can learn to draw, and it is a basic tool needed for all classes
offered at the Southwest School of Art. Through free-hand drawing,
students will render three-dimensional objects — using drawing
principles of line, shape, value, texture, perspective and composition
— in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. Bring an 18 by 24inch drawing pad, a selection of graphite pencils and an eraser;
additional materials will be discussed at the first class.

This multi-level class is for beginners with some drawing background
or for experienced student-artists who would like to refresh their
drawing skills. Topics will explore value, space, composition
and concept, as well as different drawing styles and materials.
Students will move beyond using drawing merely to render objects
accurately, and will come to view drawing as a challenging vehicle
for expression of both form and narrative. Bring a sketchbook or
drawing pad (size 11 by 14 or 18 by 24-inches) and a selection of
pencils and an eraser; additional materials will be discussed at the
first class. Note: 8002b will be combined with 8001d. Prerequisite:

& Anime
Mike Fisher
Cartooning, or visual storytelling, is more than just an enjoyable
indulgence of the imagination; it speaks to interests such as editorial
illustration, children’s book illustration, comic strips, comic books
and storyboarding. Its various forms combine caricature, figure
drawing and illustration through the medium of ink and watercolor
on paper. Instruction will focus on character development, illusions
of movement, sequential staging, setting management, inking
and coloring — all aimed towards the refinement of the student’s
narratives and ideas. Bring a 9 by 12-inch sketchbook and a
sharpened pencil to the first class.

Lisa Kerpoe
Ice dyeing is one of the hottest trends in fabric dyeing, not just a
fad. A technique with a very short learning curve, ice dyeing allows
students to create wonderfully textured cloth on their first try. It
produces rich colors and exquisite patterning, ranging from sharp,
crystal-like shapes to soft patterns reminiscent of an impressionist
painting. Students will start with small sample-sized pieces to
become acquainted with the techniques; then experiment with
larger pieces of fabric yardage for use as for additional surface
design techniques or for clothing, quilting or sewing projects.

5202 | Digital Imaging.1
Ramin Samandari
This course is designed to expand the students skills in pixel-based
photographic design and printing. Adobe Photoshop® is the primary
image processing program used to digitally enhance, alter and
retouch images, so a thorough grounding in Photoshop can be the
beginning of a rewarding digital experience. Using digital cameras to
capture images, as well as flatbed and film scanners to digitize other
photographic images, students will then use PC-platform computers
to improve or alter those images. A variety of output methods will
be used, including laser and ink jet printers, to introduce students
to the artistic possibilities of digital photography. Note: Working
knowledge of computers helpful.

9075 | Sculpting Cement: Faux Bois Technique
Donald Tucker
DONALD TUCKER was
trained as a commercial
illustrator, but left the
advertising business
to become a full-time
studio artist. As a
sculptor, he specializes
in creating large-scale
works in ferrocement
employing the faux
bois tradition. Tucker
is considered a leading
authority on the
technique and teaches
workshops nationwide.
Faux bois, or “false wood”, is a well known art form in San Antonio.
These three-dimensional sculptural representations of wood or wooden
objects employ a steel and stucco lath armature which is then coated
with cement-based media. Tooling of the final cement coat creates the
illusion of wood grain and bark texture. This five-day intensive will
provide the basic skills, techniques and information necessary for the
creation of decorative and functional cement forms. Finishing options
and coloring techniques will also be covered. Each student will construct
and finish a project of his or her design. Includes materials; please see
the SSA website for a list of suggested supplies.

9076 | Advanced Faux Bois Sculpting
Donald Tucker
This class deals only with the use of the unique neat Portland paste
finishing formulations that distinguish the more highly detailed works
associated with El Trabajo Rustico. This mixture is very demanding and
even considered “impossible” to employ by many experts, but when
mastered, can yield a level of detail comparable to most sculpting
clays. Since none of the basic construction considerations are covered
during this class, it is highly recommended that students possess a
fundamental familiarity with armature development and sculpting, as
well as a working knowledge of basic cement formulating and mixing, if
they are to get the most from this course.
