Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older.
In this new workshop series, interweave tech and art! Participants will learn about the history of watercolor paintings, focusing on techniques and modern applications. Using iPads, we will also learn how to create digital drawings using the software ProCreate.
Participants will consider and learn the following:
- History and various watercolor techniques.
- How to use an iPad and software as a tool for artmaking.
- How to combine watercolor painting and iPads to create artwork.
Projects will fuse both mediums, helping us create dynamic artmaking experiences that taps into the digital and real world.
Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or the full series (four sessions; eight days).
