ALEGRE RETREAT 2016 Alegre Retreat 2016 Cynthia Corbin Emerging Style Emerging Style Class Description: 5 Day Workshop Intermediate to Advanced What is it that defines an artist’s style? I think it is a combination of the ways they like to work, the materials they like to work with, and the subject matter they are interested in. Style results from who we are and what we care about, it develops over time, mostly when we are not looking. To keep growing as an artist, it is always good to stretch the possibilities. In a series of studies, we will work with our favorites—colors, subjects, shapes--and explore their opposites. We will pay attention to what is strong in our compositions, and what is weak. We will concentrate on translating ideas into fabric, pulling for a sense of meaning that is not obvious, not automatic, but unexpected and surprising--something that demonstrates who we are as individual artists.
