SUMMARY:Drawing Composition: Exploring Image Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:During this six week-long class we will explore how the arrangement of line\, shape\, tonality\, texture and space can contribute to the creation of unique and personal works of art.   \nStarting with direct observation and inquisitive exploration of a range of subjects\, students will create a number of drawings using a variety of technical and conceptual approaches to image making. Considering compositional elements such as balance\, contrast\, focus\, rhythm and symmetry/asymmetry we will construct images that draw the viewer in and encourage their eye to move throughout the picture plane. \nInstruction will focus on dry media but students are invited to bring additional materials of their choice. Throughout the course we will look at the work of other artists\, have group discussions and critiques.  Open to students with some drawing experience and to those who are interested in expanding their painting\, collage and printmaking skills. \nMaterials List \nMinimum Number of Students: 3 \nMaximum Number of Students: 10 \nCost: $300 \nDate: Six classes beginning Mar 3 (Mar 3\, 10\, 17\, 24\, 31 & Apr 3) \nInstructor: Linda Bond’s drawings and installations have been exhibited widely including shows at Clark University\, Delaware State University\, Brandeis University\, Simmons College\, the Brattleboro Museum\, the Cape Cod Art Museum\, B’NK’R Munich\, Germany\, and Museo de Arte de Zapopan\, Jalisco\, Mexico.

SUMMARY:Photo Organizing and Editing
DESCRIPTION:Adobe’s Photography Plan\, which includes Photoshop and Lightroom\, is the most popular image editing suite used by professional designers and photographers. Although these are large\, complex programs\, this 5-session workshop will give you an introduction to a subset of features that will allow you to get started doing productive work without feeling overwhelmed. The skills we will cover include learning strategies for organizing large volumes of photos\, improving the lighting and color of an image\, touching up a portrait\, removing unwanted objects or spots from a photo\, lifting an object out of a photo for reuse\, making composites by combining multiple images together\, and adding text and graphics to an image. You will have assignments to complete after each class to practice the skills covered in each session. Computers with the most recent version of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom will be provided. Lab time at the AIC to complete assignments is included as part of the fee. The workshop is appropriate for those who have never used Photoshop or Lightroom before\, but participants should have basic computer skills such as opening and saving files\, copying and pasting between documents\, and using the right mouse button to select menu commands. \nMinimum Number of Students: 3 \nMaximum Number of Students: 10 \nCost: $200 \nDates: Mar 9\, 10am-12pm (Mar 9\, Mar 16\, Mar 23\, Mar 30\, Apr 6)

SUMMARY:Drawing Composition: Exploring Image Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:During this six week-long class we will explore how the arrangement of line\, shape\, tonality\, texture and space can contribute to the creation of unique and personal works of art.   \nStarting with direct observation and inquisitive exploration of a range of subjects\, students will create a number of drawings using a variety of technical and conceptual approaches to image making. Considering compositional elements such as balance\, contrast\, focus\, rhythm and symmetry/asymmetry we will construct images that draw the viewer in and encourage their eye to move throughout the picture plane. \nInstruction will focus on dry media but students are invited to bring additional materials of their choice. Throughout the course we will look at the work of other artists\, have group discussions and critiques.  Open to students with some drawing experience and to those who are interested in expanding their painting\, collage and printmaking skills. \n***This class is part of a series. Please register here.*** \nMaterials List \nMinimum Number of Students: 3 \nMaximum Number of Students: 10 \nCost: $300 \nDate: Six classes beginning Mar 3 (Mar 3\, 10\, 17\, 24\, 31 & Apr 3) \nInstructor: Linda Bond’s drawings and installations have been exhibited widely including shows at Clark University\, Delaware State University\, Brandeis University\, Simmons College\, the Brattleboro Museum\, the Cape Cod Art Museum\, B’NK’R Munich\, Germany\, and Museo de Arte de Zapopan\, Jalisco\, Mexico. Her large solo show at the Human Rights Institute Gallery at Kean University in 2017 included her installation “One to One\,” a project she developed with women in Afghanistan as a Resident Scholar at Brandeis Women’s Studies Research Center. Her work is also included in the Feminist Art Base at the Brooklyn Museum.
