a Retreat to Nature for the Creative Mind

Values Workshop   Kay Brathol-Hostvet

(previously call Shades of Gray: the Value of Value)

 
Value, the relative lightness or darkness of a color or shade of gray, is the most important element of design. Having a good grasp of value increases your ability to design-in all 2D media. In this workshop, you'll learn how to create and discern values in several ways, including making value charts (gray scales) in several mediums and converting color tones to white-gray-black values. Additionally, you'll learn about visually balancing a work by value and tone. Many materials will be provided; the rest are things you should have as an artist or designer. This valuable workshop is appropriate for all skill levels!  Sunday, March 26, 10-4 $110/$5 materials

Stencil designs may be utilized in a variety of ways: book images, decorative paper designs, bookcovers, fabric designs, scrapbooking and/or greeting cards. Simplified images and designs work best as you learn the basics.  Adults may choose to cut individual designs, (a good cutting matt and x-acto knife will be necessary) or may utilize pre-cut designs provided.  Minimal supply list.   Thurs March 30, 1 - 4:30  $55/$7 materials
