SUMMARY:THE ART OF SEEING
DESCRIPTION:THE ART OF SEEING\n\n\n\n\nwith Sarah Paolucci \nWednesday\, June 17\, 2026\n10:00 AM  – 4:00 PM\nAges: 18+\nMembers: $108 / Non-members: $120 \nThis workshop is an invitation to slow down and truly see. The focus is not on detail or finished paintings\, but on learning to trust your eyes and respond to what’s in front of you. We will practice identifying big\, bold shapes\, major value relationships\, and overall form without getting caught up in the small details. We will be training your hands to translate what your eyes actually see\, instead of what you THINK you see\, resulting in work that feels more alive\, immediate\, and confident. Through a series of short\, focused exercises\, students will build a collection of studies that strengthen the connection between eyes and hands. \nThe focus of the workshop is on observation and decision-making rather than technique. Participants may work in any medium they are comfortable with\, especially those that allow for quick coverage and bold mark-making. Demonstrations will be done in oil paint\, but a range of materials are welcome. If you are unsure whether your medium will work\, feel free to ask.

SUMMARY:PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR 2D AND 3D ARTWORK
DESCRIPTION:PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR 2D AND 3D ARTWORK\n\n\n\n\nwith Thaddeus Kubis \nThursday\, June 18\, 2026 \nTime: 5:00 – 8:00 PM \nAges: 18+\nMembers: $72 / Non-members: $80 \nProperly photographing your artwork is critical when building an archive and submitting to calls for work. Juried exhibitions often require digital images of your artwork and photographs that truly represent the quality of your work can make or break the juror’s choice. Lighting\, background\, angle and color balance are things that can often be overlooked by those unfamiliar with the photographic process. This practical workshop will show you what’s involved in making good images of both 2D and 3D artwork. Smartphones\, DSLRs\, scanners\, and digital editing software will be among the tools covered.
