New workshop, also at University Art:

Exploring Art Nouveau Style and Design

For many years I’ve been fascinated by the work of Alfonse Mucha, William Morris and some of the Symbolists, like Rosetti and Klimt, and the  time period of the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.  But it’s primarily Mucha’s beautiful intricate designs that I love and can look at over and over again.

In this two day workshop we’ll  look into a little history of the time, some foundational background, study some of the great work, then work with ink and watercolor.   Design, line and color scheme will be utmost in importance.  We’ll also work with drapery, pattern and the figure.  Students will go home with a greater understanding of the elements of Art Nouveau style, a painting, and the ability to take what they’ve learned and use it in future work.

It looks to be an exciting exploration.  I hope you’ll join me.

Where:  University Art (at the corner of Fulton and Marconi, Sacramento)

When:  Tuesday, June 15 – July 6 2010

Time:  10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Workshop fee :  $150
