Saturday, November 8; 10am to 1pm

Instructor: Megan Broughton

In this workshop you will create large scale stencils whose organic shapes reference the local Marin landscape (grasses, tree leaves, etc.) You will share these stencils among your classmates to create individual 18x24" colored pencil drawings, building up shapes and overlapping colors to create abstracted works with local significance.

The instructor will discuss her own artistic process and materials, and share about her experimental etching practice. You will learn the Arctic influences and local connections behind her newest body of experimental etchings, “Ice Watch Studies”.

You will talk about form and content; the concept that artistic ideas should be deliberately paired with techniques and processes that best convey those ideas. Using communal stencils will help you to think beyond your own ideas, tools, and plans.

The instructor will provide mylar, sharpies, scissors, drawing paper (3 sheets per student), colored pencils, and erasers.
