317-Back to Basics

This three-day workshop will focus on giving students a better understanding of proportion and perspective, using helpful tips and tools while working from both life and from photographs.  The workshop will further go into different mark-making techniques that can be utilized in any medium and can 'deceive the eye' of the viewer.  For anyone who has trouble mixing color, this workshop will also delve into color theory and the practical side of mixing and layering color.
