A Skill Level 2 workshop requires basic experience and training in the medium, such as a previous workshop(s).

Developing technical skills will be emphasized. Content and motivations for making work will be introduced.

SKILL LEVEL 3

A Skill Level 3 workshop requires a growing level of confidence with the materials, tools, and techniques of the medium, as well as developed drawing and design skills and the ability to work independently at times. Constructive critiques will provide feedback on technical and conceptual directions for future work.

SKILL LEVEL 4

A Skill Level 4 workshop requires experience, competency, and confidence in the medium. Artistic growth, including technical and conceptual challenges, will be emphasized through independent working time, group discussion, and critique.

EXPERIENCE

Along with daily material demonstrations and a priority on individual working time, this workshop will include lectures and discussions based on relevant artworks, design issues, explorations of content, and constructive peer and instructor feedback about in-progress work. You will leave with a few small works-in-progress or finished pieces, as well as new collage materials, processes, and ideas to incorporate into your personal studio practice.

ID: 2D1908 Jun 10-13 • 9am-4pm Print/Paper/Book, Any Painting Media Levels 2-3 Member: $450 • Non-Member: $490

CONCEPT

The unfolding of a story relies on sequential images to carry the reader from beginning to end. Add to this, the interweaving of word with image and you have a richly complex storytelling form. In this workshop, you will experiment with a variety of styles, materials, and techniques, as well as learn about the children’s book publishing process.

COMPLEX FORMS, ELEGANT PROCEDURES: INVENTIVE APPROACHES TO UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS SHANE MCADAMS

ID: 2D1909 Jun 14-15 • 9am-4pm Any Painting Media, Drawing • All Levels Member: $225 • Non-Member: $250

CONCEPT

This workshop is designed for students with an interest in experimenting with materials and exploring new artistic directions based on those experiments.

The majority of artwork we encounter in the world reflects a divide between media and subject. In our quest for representation and illusion, we often miss the potential of various media to exercise wonderful internal qualities.

EXPERIENCE

Working through an array of materials, you will examine them for their natural qualities.

From there, you will assign various ‘verbal’ actions on each material. Note the effects, and determine which ones are worth pursuing further. The second half of the workshop will encourage you to work with one or two specific materials, looking to tease out an individual composition or series of compositions as a final takeaway.

INSTRUCTOR

Shane McAdams is an artist, educator, writer, and curator. His work has been exhibited at the John Michael Kohler Art Center, Museum of Wisconsin Art, Haggerty Museum of Art, and others.

Shane is a three-time Creative Capital awardee and Andy Warhol Writer’s Grant finalist. He currently writes for the Shepherd Express and runs the gallery REAL TINSEL in Milwaukee.

Examine space, perspective, and design through practical hands-on lessons that aim to help you build confidence.

A short demonstration clarifying techniques and sharing pointers on perspective and composing a scene will be offered to start the workshop off. From there, Nancie will assist students one-on-one. Depending on your comfort and skill level, you can expect to complete two or more paintings each day. Individual attention will be stressed in this experience opposed to group lecture.

ID: 2D1914 Jun 19-22 • 9am-4pm Drawing • All Levels Member: $450 • Non-Member: $490 To paraphrase Paul Klee, “a line is a dot undertaking a journey”; a joyous and wondrous idea, yet for so many drawing is an unimaginative and inexpressive process. In this workshop, Mat will share his philosophy and approach to drawing as a rich art form and aid in establishing lively, representational paintings.

EXPERIENCE

The first half of the workshop will be spent going over perspective in participatory and intuitive exercises that will help you over the “I don’t get it” hump and gain confidence. While the second half of the workshop will encourage you to develop a more expressive voice. Expand your language of line and tone, as you draw with your fingers, erasers, and pencils.

Be prepared for a busy week loaded with information and hands-on experience.

INSTRUCTOR

For over 20 years, Mat Barber Kennedy has been drawing and painting aging machines, tools, and buildings.

Constructed in layers, adapted over generations, and decaying in pieces, he is fascinated by the junctions of materials and corrosion of designed objects over time.

CONCEPT

In this workshop, you will explore as many ways of constructing the collage as possible with paint acting as the integrating element. Using water-based paint over and under your collages, you will learn not only how to build collages, but also how to paint both supportively and expressively. Find your creative voice as you discover what media work together and what processes best align with your vision and goals.

EXPERIENCE

Through discussions and hands-on practice, Holly will share image transfer processes, gluing techniques, compatibility of media, and different ways of working with water-based paints. Materials will include, but are not limited to paint, photographs, found objects, organic materials, cloth, and three-dimensional objects. Leave this workshop with a toolkit of strategies for assembling collages and combining media successfully.

INSTRUCTOR

The instructor teaches in such an all-encompassing manner that truly has you feeling like an artist. This workshop was so important not only because my confidence in my technical skills improved, but I learned new ways to generate ideas and new ways to conceptualize them. Her activities include "3D sketching" where various materials are used to give an idea life in sculptural form where pen and paper would fall short. Anyone looking to examine their creative processes in order to make themselves more productive, more original, and more uninhibited, should definitely take a class like this!

MAGIC LANDSCAPES: CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE PAINTING May 24 to July 13 Opening Reception: Friday, May 24, 4-6pm Seven nationally-recognized artists offer vast interpretations of landscape. There are elements of the unknown, the unexplained, and the mysterious embedded in the works, giving us a fresh perspective of the landscape in which we live. It is a world we recognize - only slightly skewed.

Featuring: Beth Edwards (TN), Shannon Estlund (NY), Zoe Hawk (MO), Breehan James (NY), Misha Kligman (KS), Michael Kruger (KS), Amy Talluto (NY) Beth Edwards

THE FUTURE OF COLLAGE August 16 to October 5 Opening Reception: Friday, August 16, 4-6pm In examining artists’ diverse approaches to collage and assemblage, this exhibition endeavors to show how these techniques can be used to express ideas about modernity and America’s throwaway culture, and as a way to capture the poetic potential of the everyday. The resulting works of art are richly textured pieces whose shifting forms and associations can be read as metaphors for the constantly fluctuating realities of contemporary life.

Featured Artists: Tim Abel (IL), Bruce Basch (WI), Tanya Hartman (KS), Andy Ducett (MN), Troy Dugas (LA), Carol Emmons (WI), Melissa Oresky (IL), Ann Toebbe (IL)

Troy Dugas

WAX: CONTEMPORARY METHODS October 11 to November, 29 2019 Opening Reception: Saturday, October 12

Wax is an extraordinary versatile medium, making it the perfect vehicle for artistic experimentation - encouraging unrestricted combinations of methods and materials and the blurring of lines between sculpture, painting, photography, and printmaking. Thematically, artists in the exhibition explore language, mythology, and materiality.

The possibilities & fascination with the medium continue to grow.

Featured Artists: Kristy Deetz (WI), Jane Nodine (SC), Margaret Noel (NY), Sarah Rehmer (IL), Amanda Salov (WA), Liz Rundorff Smith (SC) Margaret Noel

INVESTING IN OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE An investment in the Door to Creativity Campaign is an investment in our collective future. For over 100 years, Door County has

been known as haven for artists, creatives and art appreciators. With an abundance of galleries, practicing artists, and collectors, and so many more sources of pride surrounding us, Peninsula School of Art is ready to be part of the next century of Door County’s art heritage.

With new children, teen and adult education spaces, enhanced programming in traditional and new media, connectivity to community partners and structural improvements, the Peninsula School of Art will continue to

enhance our community’s public life.

Without PenArt’s evolution, young minds, hands and hearts will lack exposure to vital art education; new art forms and technologies will remain inaccessible; and key connections between community and business partners will be incomplete.

JOIN US IN THE DOOR TO CREATIVITY CAMPAIGN AND BRING THIS EXCITING VISION TO OUR COMMUNITY. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated.

ocated on a 75-mile peninsula and surrounded by the waters of Green Bay on the west and Lake Michigan on the

east, Door County has more than 300 miles of picturesque shoreline, sandy beaches, rocky bluffs and large tracts of undisturbed woodlands.

Ten lighthouses still guard the harbors and the more than 40 islands of the county.

Tourists first came to Door County in the 19th century on schooners before there were roads.

Much of Door County’s beauty and character has since been preserved in county and state parks, wildlife refuges, private preserves, sanctuaries, and trusts. Door County emerged as an art colony early in the 20th Century, and out of it grew Peninsula School of Art. Throughout the quaint harborside towns and the pastoral interior dotted with picturesque farms
