Past Prairie Arts Institute

Developing processes of idea generation are essential for developing artists. It involves introspection, brainstorming, sketching and discussion. In this workshop students will learn techniques designed to prompt exploration in image making. Students will use sketching as the primary method of image development and learn foundational principles of drawing. These drawings will be used to complete a final painting project. 

 

In this course, students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of hand building techniques as well as throwing on the wheel. Along the way, they will learn about the physical properties of clay and how to properly use the tools of the ceramics studio. Students can expect to form and glaze several of their own unique and functional objects over the course of the workshop.
