Drawing and graphics summer school announces new intake!
[archive course].
We would like to invite young people aged 13-18, art lovers eager for new knowledge and experience to participate in the Drawing and Graphic Arts Summer School, organised at the Alfons Karpinski Painting Gallery. This is a unique opportunity to learn about printmaking, which is one of the basic subjects taught at art colleges.
The course programme will include four meetings in the historic building of the Alfons Karpinski Painting Gallery. To start with, there will be a class during which students will tackle various drawing techniques (pencil, graphite, charcoal, sanguine, pastel). They will then be introduced to basic printmaking techniques and will make their own matrix, which will allow them to make a number of prints on different substrates. During the course you will learn what printmaking really is. You will learn about the history of different printmaking techniques and Gutenberg’s influence on their development. You will expand your knowledge and skills with a technique that you are likely to encounter on your future artistic career path. Taking part in the Drawing and Printmaking Summer School is the perfect way to enjoy a creative holiday. Class programme:
Drawing classes. Thematic explorations within familiar drawing techniques (pencil, graphite, charcoal, sanguine, pastel).
Colography lesson. Creative explorations of printmaking, the role of textures and forms.
Monotype – transfer of drawing to paper and the principle of mirror image.
Linocut. Learning about chisels – the basic tools of the printmaker. Working on a matrix.
Learning about the specific problems of engraving methods. Making your own prints.
The classes will be held from 4 to 7 July (Monday-Thursday) from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The organiser provides materials for printmaking: rollers, linoleum, styluses, paints, grounds. Participants are required to provide their own basic drawing materials (pencil, charcoal, sanguine, eraser, A3 folder) Instructor: Dr Janusz Baran Price of participation in the series of classes: PLN 175 Number of places limited.
