Professional Development in the Studio Thursday, November 9, 2017 Mississippi Museum of Art We are again offering three concentrations for the Thursday session of the 2016 MAEA Fall Conference. Each of these sessions will last five hours on Thursday and will cost $50. You must register for the conference in order to enroll and attend one of these studio concentrations. Printmaking Our featured speaker Ke Francis will conduct a five-hour workshop on printmaking. Mr. Francis will discuss the process of hand engraving using Gravoply II, a relatively cheap material designed for the sign industry. Participants will transfer a drawing to the matrix, engrave the plate using burins and dremel tools and ink and print their engravings using the relief printing process on the etching press in the museum studio facility. Limit 20 participants. All supplies provided. Figure Drawing Camilla S Haneberg taught a very popular portrait drawing class at the MAEA Spring Conference and many of you wanted more. Thanks to funding from the Da Vinci Initiative, she is flying in from New Mexico to teach a figure drawing class. Learn time tested Atelier methods of representational drawing, starting with a notional space, envelope, follow through lines, plumb line, measuring tilts and distances, separating light from shadow, drawing shadow shapes, terminator, and rounding form. Emphasis is on proper proportion and realistic representation of the model. Limit 20 participants. All supplies provided. Landscape Painting After Shirley placed in the MAEA member show last year with this vibrant painting, many requested she offer a workshop. She has graciously agreed to offer the workshop for MAEA teachers to learn this technique. Come explore the connection between colors, layering, lines, and edges. Be prepared to have fun and get messy! Limit 15 participants who must provide their own brushes and some paints.
