Tune in to a conversation with Lois Dodd and Wayne Thiebaud: two artists who address the everyday in their paintings from their separate coasts—Thiebaud from California, and Dodd from Maine and New York. Moderator Karen Wilkin will lead a conversation exploring their histories, motivations and predilections, and what has sustained them during their long and productive careers.

Color Marathon – VIRTUAL with Kaitlin McDonough

Color Marathon – VIRTUAL with Kaitlin McDonough
June 2nd - June 15th, 2021
9am - 6pm EST

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This Marathon will elevate and expand our sensitivity to all aspects of color. Placing practice before theory, we will explore the wild richness of color functionality and mutability. Exercises will deepen our understanding of hue, tone, saturation, deception, intervals, boundaries and color relatedness. We will prioritize conclusions drawn from what we observe firsthand and will trust our sense of sight above any preconceived notions of how a color might behave. Using colored papers and the teachings of Josef Albers, we will sharpen our awareness of the many ways that colors shift, bend, vibrate, radiate and cocreate on the page. We will internalize a deep awareness of color and ways to work with color confidently. This course will be taught online using a combination of Zoom meetings and Padlet discussion boards. All levels welcome.

Generous partial scholarships are available.

The class meets daily from 9am to 6pm, five days a week (excluding weekends). Evening critiques may be held during both weeks. Times of the critiques will be announced during the session. Attendance to each session is mandatory. Students are expected to work on assignments, photograph and upload images of their work throughout the duration of the course.

"The Virtual Marathon with Dean Graham Nickson at

"The Virtual Marathon with Dean Graham Nickson at the New York Studio School was a way for me to excel in artistic skills while enjoying exciting practices, critiques, and guidance. [...] During the Marathon, I participated in daily exercises including working from the model and processes that reassess the synthesis of drawing and painting by studying the masters, direct looking, and creating transcriptions. We studied intricate possibilities in the investigation of drawing and painting by studying hands, figure groups, and the mystery of the portrait." - Camila Chaves Cortes
