1 WORKSHOP TITLE: Animation Station (Phenakistoscopes) WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR (S): Raoul Deal NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 12 students SESSION: 11:00-1:00 DESCRIPTION: The phenakistoscope is an animation contraption that uses the persistence of motion principle to create the illusion of movement. It consists of a disc with slots around the edge, and drawings of successive action, drawn around the disc in concentric circles. When viewed in a mirror through the first disc's slots, the pictures will appear to move. These animations may be narrative, abstract, wild, conventional, but they are always surprising! STUDENTS NEED TO BRING: Miscellaneous drawing instruments (pencils or markers ) will be useful. WE WILL SUPPLY: All other materials will be provided Painting supplies, colored pencils, markers, cardboard disks, mirrors for viewing the animations.

2 WORKSHOP TITLE: Image & Text Workshop Poetry & Photo from student work, Glacier National Park, Montana, 2011 WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR(S): Helene Fischman and Eric Roman Beining NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 15 Students SESSION: DESCRIPTION: In this workshop, students will learn to create artwork integrating word and image. Students will have a local photo assignment outside the building, learning to target image focal points in different parts of the frame. Returning back to the classroom, they will learn to compose a simple 5 line poem (a quintain), through exercises evoking a cache of nouns and adjectives to describe the scenes they just photographed. We will then place the text over selected images creating a visual poem to represent their concept. Students will leave the workshop with at least one unique visual poem, and we will create a book of all participant work. STUDENTS NEED TO BRING: Students will need to bring (1) a notebook and pen/pencil or laptop, and (2) a camera with USB connecting cord to download images onto computer.

Then they will be introduced to the darkroom, where they will utilize contact printing techniques to make a final positive image. This session will introduce to the students fundamental concepts of light to create images, along with darkroom printing techniques. They will learn to capture, develop, fix, and wash their prints so that they may leave the workshop with 2-3 unique, one of a kind pinhole images to take home. STUDENTS NEED TO BRING: Students will only need to bring themselves and a vision for the sort of images they want to capture. Keep in mind that this is a very basic camera and exposure time can range toward upwards of 10 or 15 minutes. WE WILL SUPPLY: We will have 15 pinhole cameras ready for use and a limited supply of photographic paper for students to capture and print their images. If students have their own photographic paper and wish to print more, they may bring additional materials. Also, time permitting, if students want to bring their own light-tight box, we would be happy to instruct them on how to make their own pinhole camera. Examples of acceptable boxes would be an oatmeal can, shoebox, and a coffee cup with lid. Please take the time to paint the inside of these future cameras black.

10 WORKSHOP TITLE: Screenprint Monotypes Image by Greg Martens WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR(S): Chadwick Noellert & Matthew Lee NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 18 DESCRIPTION: Students will utilize the Print and Narrative Forms printmaking facilities by participating in a hands-on screenprint monotype workshop. Screenprint Monotype is a layering process, whereby a series of monotype prints are made by drawing or painting directly onto the silkscreen mesh with watersoluble materials. The printing paper is then registered under the screen, and the image is pushed through onto the paper by squee-geeing a specially formulated binder over the screen as in traditional screenprinting. During this hands-on workshop, students will apply their imagery to the screen and pull 2-4 prints using this printmaking process. Source imagery could include a sketch, original color photograph (by the student artist), digital print, etc. The image area can be approximately 7 x 10 or smaller. STUDENTS NEED TO BRING: Images/ideas, sketchbooks for taking notes, and pencils. WE WILL SUPPLY: Screens, paints, pastels, water soluble crayons, graphite sticks, transparent base, tape, and sturdy printmaking paper (Arches 88).
