THE IPAD’S BRIEF STORY: Advances, Convenience, and Creativity In a short time, iPad technology has advanced in leaps and bounds, making the iPad near-identical to working on a laptop! With these noted improvements, like far less costly apps and the Apple pencil’s pressure and tilt sensitivity, many artists have set their computer aside to work exclusively on their iPad. Since most iPad apps can export to formats that are compatible with desktop applications, you’re able to have the best of both worlds! See Film courses for more iPad opportunities.

Victoria Gomez Mayol This is a fun, explorative, and experimental workshop that invites you to paint your canvas, your hands, paint while dancing and dance while painting! We will paint abstract backgrounds that will develop into figurative paintings.

Students will learn to draw the figure with an expressive, fearless line, understanding the drawing as the result of a deeper search ‘to care about all the thousand lines that are inside a body, not just the outlines.’ Through the study of the figure, students will build an understanding of proportion, modulation of the line, and the relationship between the brushstroke and the line. This is a fast moving, expressive way of working that pushes the artist to paint loosely and expressively. Beginner to advanced students are welcome.
