Art Challenge
with Erin Stack

Each student will be given a photo of the Terminal Tower in Downtown Cleveland. By selecting from a hat,
each student will be given the name of a 20th Century artist. Reference books will be available for each
of those artists. Students will have the afternoon to incorporate the Terminal Tower into one of the artists’ paintings
while also working in their style. Students will be given a stretched canvas to work
upon and will participate in a mini exhibition when the projects are complete.

Acrylic Abstract

All good realistic paintings have a strong abstract structure. We

as pouring, brushing, spraying and scraping paint.

with collage and painting techniques.

Photography
with DA Black
Broaden your photographic technical knowledge to achieve
pristine scenic landscape and cityscape images. Expand your
creative horizons through seeing and capturing pure light.
Light, be it natural or artificial, is the key factor in producing any
photograph. This workshop will open with a short slide presentation.
Topics for the morning will include apertures/f-stops,
shutter speed, depth of field, reciprocity failure and more. An
open discussion will provide the students with an opportunity
to ask specific questions that will increase their understanding
of specific photographic techniques.

Pastel
with William V. Mannion
This workshop will cover the aspects of composition, creative
approaches from first impression to the actual process to
completion. Emphasis will be on contrast, shapes, negative and
positive, color harmony, simplicity and balance. There will also
be a slide presentation of various artists work in pastel. Bring
one or two pieces that you may have had trouble resolving and
a reference from which you would like to work. There will be
a still life set up if you choose to work from that which will be
