CPSA Portland DC 201 • Annual Two-Day Workshop The Rules of Composition— and How to October 27–28, 2012 Saturday and Sunday (9:00–4:00) Keizer Art Association (KAA) 980 Chemawa Rd. NE, Keizer, OR Led by: Betsy Holster, CPSA Associate Professor and Program Coordinator, California State College at Fullerton; CPSA Signature member and former national CPSA board member Explore innovative ways to use colored pencil and consider questions such as, “What makes a dynamic composition?” and “How can I improve my compositions?” N o matter where on the continuum from beginner to accomplished professional we find ourselves, it’s important for all of us to reflect on our work. We need to ask: “What is my work about? What am I trying to say? How am I trying to communicate to the viewer of my work? Am I effective? How am I limiting myself? Have I examined all the choices and options available? The interesting thing is that we all will continue to ask ourselves these same questions many times throughout our artistic lives, but as we grow and change, our answers will be different. And that is a very good thing! Expand Your Options in Colored Pencil Colored pencil lends itself to very tight photographically real drawing. It’s easy to be caught up in the technical aspects of colored pencil and to limit yourself unnecessarily. This workshop will help you to expand your options, allowing you to experiment with a range of different approaches from realism to non-objective using the medium of colored pencil. We will look at some innovative ways to use colored pencils and other supplies, giving you more options than you realized were possible. During these two days, you will learn how to approach your work with fresh eyes and attitude. Only 24 spots... register now!
