First two nights and last one are spent on campus. Other nights are spent at a wilderness campsite in tents. Participants should be physically prepared for a rugged outdoor experience. The cool, unspoiled landscapes of Aroostook County, Maine and western New Brunswick, Canada provide the backdrop for this course. Some knowledge of art is required.
Individualized instruction is provided with group critiques in a workshop environment.
The basic elements of art structure will be covered. Still life compositions will be set indoors. The rural, natural settings, including the campus, will provide opportunities for landscape painting. Outdoor work will include easily accessible locations with a day-long excursion to Canada. Learn the technique of coil-building, a wonderfully accessible way to begin.
