Jump into a hands-on introductory workshop in three parts that is focused on integrating drawing, painting, printmaking and photographic processes-- with digital media using Adobe PhotoShop/Elements. We will begin with a basic introduction to PhotoShop as a medium as well as a tool—and an ultimate collage machine. Then we’ll move to explore a range of digital processes and exploratory approaches to creating montage compositions, ending with a printed piece.

Experiment with compositions that may become works in digital form, or the basis of studies to develop in other media. Bring a sketchbook to start—a small drawing or drawing fragment, if you have it—and we’ll gather our sources along the way.

The ceiling of the state-of-the-art Bishop Planetarium is your canvas

This workshop is for anyone interested in how drawing can intersect with New Media outlets such as full Dome (google it!) or just anyone who enjoys pushing the boundaries of perspective drawing. We will meet in the state-of-the-art Bishop Planetarium at the South Florida Museum, in Bradenton. Exploring perspective beyond the traditional one, two, and three-point techniques, we will survey “distorted” drawings (anamorphic projection, distorted grid, fisheye, etc) and focus on fisheye distortion for full Dome projection. There will be time for workshop participants to create images which we will then process and project onto the planetarium dome. No experience necessary!

Participants will work with traditional drawing media; Basic materials will be provided. Bring your sketchbook, we will provide scanning capabilities to get your drawings up on the dome. (You may also bring your own laptop, Mac or PC, as long as it has a USB port—if you would like to work digitally.)
