Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2008

I really hope that 2008 brings all of my readers a lot of art, travel, happiness, prosperity, and friendship! So from my desk to yours, here’s a little New Year wish:

How much of our world do we look at and not see?

Learning to See: Session I, the fun and challenging online version of the workshop, is meant to teach the art of observation - as well as an aspect of design and composition - through the use of a camera and its lens and reading material. After taking this class the new student should be able to begin to see the world with a new perspective. The lessons that will be learned here can be translated to other creative formats and everyday observations. The camera and the resulting photographs will only be used as a learning, editing, and presentation tool.

This online workshop will be hosted on Mondays, September 17 through October 22, from 5 - 7 pm PST.

This workshop is a mixed-level class that may be of interest to both artists and non-artists alike!

Another Shameless Plug

September 3rd, 2007

Totally by coincidence that the site has been mentioned in other media twice in one week!

Jordan Clary interviewed me about setting up the ArtStudio here on artist-at-large.com for a story she was writing for W.H.Y., a magazine dedicated to folks who work from home. W.H.Y = Work. Home. You.

Here is a link to the W.H.Y. site. The story is the feature for the September/October online issue.

How much of our world do we look at and not see?

Learning to See: SessionĀ  I, the first online version of the workshop, is meant to teach the art of observation - as well as an aspect of design and composition - through the use of a camera and its lens and reading material. After taking this class the new student should be able to begin to see the world with a new perspective. The lessons that will be learned here can be translated to other creative formats and everyday observations. The camera and the resulting photographs will only be used as a learning, editing, and presentation tool.

This online workshop will be hosted on Mondays, June 4 through July 9, from 5 - 7 pm PST. Another session of the same workshop will run July 16 through August 29th.

This workshop is a mixed-level class that may be of interest to both artists and non-artists alike!
