SUMMARY:Figure Drawing Jump-Start! With Bridget Grady
DESCRIPTION:Figure Drawing Jump-Start! \nInstructor: Bridget Eileen Grady \nDATES: Tuesdays\, November 1st Through November 22nd\, 10 AM-12:30 PM \n\nThis class is open to both beginning artists\, artists who may be rusty\, and those interested in exploring a variety of approaches to drawing the figure. During this program\, students will be exposed to an intuitive optical approach to proportion on the figure and will use value to create a 3-d Form. By the end of this short course\, students will have a strong introduction to how to depict gesture\, proportion\, and basic form when working from the life model. For the first two weeks\, students will work from Old Master’s sketches\, photo references\, and internet resources so as to gain confidence before transitioning to a live model. \nInstructor Bio \nMs. Grady Obtained her M.F.A. in Painting at Western Connecticut State University. Previous to that she pursued graduate studies at Norwich University in Montpelier\, Vermont. Additionally\, she has studied classical methodology at Grand Central Atelier under Jacob Collins\, Camie Davis\, and Scott Waddell. Formerly Ms. Grady was an Assistant Professor of Art and Art coordinator at the School of Art\, Design\, and Media\, at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore where she was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award. She was invited by the Singapore Ministry of Education to participate in their curriculum development committee during her time at A.D.M. She has been an adjunct professor of Painting since 2015 at Northwestern Community College and is currently the Education Coordinator at Five Points Arts Center. \n Materials List \nGraphite Pencils HB\,2B\,4B \nPencil sharpeners \nA piece of fine sandpaper \nA Couple of sticks Vine Charcoal \nBall Point Pen Black or Blue \nKneaded Eraser and hard eraser \n18″ x  24″ News Print Pad 50 sheet minimum \n11″ x 14″ Spiral Bound Multi-Media Drawing Pad \n  \nhttps://bridgetgrady.com

SUMMARY:Monotype Printmaking: A New Angle\, with Tony Kirk
DESCRIPTION:Monotype Printmaking: A New Angle \nInstructor Name: Tony Kirk \nDate(s): November 13\, 2022 \nTime(s): 10:00 – 5:00 \nLocation: Robert Dente Printmaking Lab \nAges: 18+ \nCost: $110 \nClass Cap: 10 \n\nWorkshop Description \nSeveral years ago\, as an invited Master Printer at Woodstock School of Art’s annual Monothon printmaking fundraiser\, I noticed that a very tall woman was seated at a table brushing ink onto a monotype plate. The seat was too high for the table\, and she looked very uncomfortable. In her own studio\, this artist painted standing up on an easel. It was then that I suggested affixing her monotype plate to a wall\, and since then\, this is her preferred approach to monotype printmaking. \nThis method has many advantages. While holding a brush not only can the artist work with the wrist but also can move the brush around from the shoulder. The ability to step back from the work at a distance is an added benefit especially if you turn your back to the plate and view your composition in a handheld mirror. This of course is how the plate will print. \nIn this workshop\, the walls will be protected with butcher paper\, and the plates attached to the walls at a comfortable height for each artist whether they prefer to work standing or seated. A 12 x 12 ins Plexiglas mirror will be available for each artist. \n\nRequired Materials \nParticipants should bring: \n\nPreliminary sketches were drawn to 18 x 24 ins\, 16 x 20 ins\, or 11 x 14 ins  on tracing paper or acetate\n2 inch\, 1.5 inch\, 1-inch brushes plus some smaller brushes\nBounty paper towels\nQ- tips\nWater-soluble crayons such as those made by Caran d’Ache or Mungyo extra soft water soluble oil pastels.\nA portfolio to take prints home with.\n\n\nThe instructor will bring: \n\nPrintmaking papers such as Magnani Pescia\, Somerset\, and Rives BFK to sell at cost.\nApprox. $6.00 to $7.00 per sheet.\nPlexiglas sizes 18 x 24 ins\, 16 x 20 ins and 11 x 14 ins. plus a selection of smaller plates.\nCotton rags.\n\n\nInstructor Bio \nMaster Printer Anthony Kirk brings almost fifty years of professional experience to Anthony Kirk Editions (AKE). Born in Scotland\, Kirk attended Art School in England before moving to NYC in 1974. In 1988\, Kenneth Tyler invited him to head up the etching department at Tyler Graphics Ltd. where he etched and proofed plates for Helen Frankenthaler\, Frank Stella\, John Walker\, Donald Sultan and Joan Mitchell. In 2000\, Kirk established his own printmaking studio in North Salem\, NY. Here he brings to each collaborative project\, an accumulation of experience\, thereby realizing in print\, the vision of each artist whether established or new to the medium. \n\nInstructor Website \nhttps://www.anthonykirkeditions.com/
