IS183 and The Clark Joining Forces for Art Workshops
 |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — This spring, IS183 Art School students will have the opportunity to interact with the collections and the campus at The Sterling and Francine Clark Institute.
By offering hands-on art-making on-site, IS183 will complement the Clark’s mission to advance and extend the public understanding of art. Students will engage with existing art as they create their own, building a reciprocal understanding of how art is made.
For children ages 8-14, "Steampunk Printmakers" will be offered to create art inspired by the "Machine Age Modernism." The workshop will be led by Lucie Castaldo and will be held Monday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. from April 20-24. In this school vacation week workshop, kids will explore a variety of print making techniques and make a plethora of 2D and 3D works of art while experimenting with linocuts, monotypes, and bold colors.
For adults, a week-long workshop, "Drawing as Extreme Sport" with Kathline Carr, will be offered from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. from June 8-12. Students will power through some drawing workouts, including interval training in the form of small and large drawings, timed exercises, as well as relays to work on collaborative strength! Students will round out the workout sessions with longer exercises to utilize new muscle and delve deeper into the drawing process. Graphite, charcoal, and Conté crayon will all be in on action. This workshop is intended for all levels and gives the student the time to develop new and existing skills.
IS183 Art School Registration for IS183’s classes at the Clark is available by calling IS183 at 413-298-5252 x100. More information about IS183’s complete spring and summer schedule including full class descriptions, dates, times and prices can be found online at IS183.org.
