Working in a Series: Designing your Practice with Doug Ritter
July 5-7, 1:30-4:30pm, $250

In this course, we identify the issues and processes that individuals engage in their work, and examine the narrative and structural processes involved in communicating through art. We create a plan that emphasizes the integration of content and process by generating a series of related works, then we storyboard, laundry list, generate studies, and sample materials. This class offers a balance of discussion, criticism, experimentation, and concentrated studio time. 

Open to two-dimensional forms and practices, our discussions serve to model potentialities, and identify one's strengths and proclivities. Participants may develop existing work, generate new work specific to this opportunity, or use work from the museum as a starting point. Intermediate to advanced two-dimensional artists are welcome, and may work in drawing, painting, or mixed media.
