MATISSE & DIEBENKORN: A Painting Workshop
This workshop celebrates the upcoming exhibition at San Francisco MOMA : Matisse/Diebenkorn.
LOCATION: Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in West Seattle
DATES: Feb. 18-19 (Sat/Sun) / TIME: 10 AM - 5 PM / CLASS FEE: $240
T.S. Eliot wrote, "A poet cannot help being influenced, therefore he should subject himself to as many influences as possible."
Richard Diebenkorn was inspired and influenced by the paintings of Henri Matisse. This workshop explores the structure of Matisse's compositions, the various qualities of light he created, simplification of form, and use of line. These aspects of Matisse's paintings can be seen in many of Diebenkorn's, as he re-interpreted them in his own voice.
In this class, you will make a figure and a still life painting, one each day. Your paintings will also re-examine Matisse's compositions, as Diebenkorn did, exploring structure, color and line.
Acrylic or Oil paints. Painting experience recommended.

ART MARATHONS are weekends dedicated to drawing and/or painting from a live model. You choose what to do, there is no instruction.
Surround yourself with others who are all practicing and experimenting on paper and canvas. Everyone works on their own in a fun and focused atmosphere.
This is a great opportunity to practice drawing/painting for six hours each day. Poses begin at one minute and progress up to two hours. There are two models each day.
Practice at your own pace with materials of your choice.
Snacks provided to keep all happily fueled.

Location: Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in West Seattle
Time: 10 am - 5 pm Sat/Sun
Fee: $240
Perhaps the most intimate and direct expression in drawing is Line. Making Lines is a visual language that conveys both emotion and likeness. This class is designed to further your vocabulary in both ways, expressively and visually with a wide variety of lines made with different media.
Fugate will guide you as you make many gestures and longer studied drawings from the live model. Issues covered include: gesture drawing, variety of line, value, shape and color. Materials include charcoal, ink wash, and some soft pastel.
Some drawing experience is recommended.
