Portfolio with Trevor Bennet and Wheel Throwing with Nathan Neufeld. The portfolio is an intensive for high school rising sophomores, juniors and seniors preparing portfolios for art school admissions and for those thinking about entering an art program. In Wheel Throwing, participants will gain experience and knowledge to help them work more intentionally on the potter’s wheel.
Art Portfolio: Color: The five days will develop students’ concepts and skills to strengthen their portfolios. This institute will focus on color. Students will use a wide variety of materials to learn through experience how color interacts with material and form to create experiences for viewers. Students will create a minimum of 2 finished works for their portfolios, as well as be introduced to art work planning and development. Both 2D and 3D formats will be explored. Work documentation for portfolio presentation will be covered.
All levels; beginners encouraged.
Wheel Throwing: Through demonstration, presentation, and an abundance of time in the studio, you will gain the skills to throw forms in sections, forms in multiples, and more. There will also be both individual and group feedback and conversation. In addition to the throwing practice and assistance, we will cover surface techniques and applications during our time together.
All levels, beginners encouraged.
