ARTIST'S STUDIO Full Day Workshop

Artist’s Studio offers students the chance to explore one artist’s concepts, processes and techniques in detail. In conjunction with the Takao Tanabe exhibit, students consider how the artist has changed, adapted, and/or reflected upon his subjects and the use of media to render a sense of “place” within his work. Students follow Tanabe’s example by exploring the process of creating images from initial drawing to painting. Skills and techniques practiced through line drawing and watercolour painting are built upon by students in their creation of a final landscape print. Working with concepts seen in the exhibition, students’ imagery is inspired by the artist’s emotionally evocative vision of the West Coast.
