DRAWING FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE Peter Chepus

August 10 - 14
Mon – Fri
1 - 4pm
5 Sessions $375
Castle Hill
For academic
credit $450

If you are not happy with your drawing, here is your chance to improve your skills. All you need for this workshop is a pad of newsprint paper and a stick of charcoal. We will start with basic shapes and work our way up. We may even try drawing with a brush! Each session begins with a 30-minute lecture- the rest of the time is spent drawing. We will learn the basic steps; how to draw with lines and points; how to represent value, texture, perspective, depth; and even learn a little about color. There will be plenty of time for individual attention and for a class critique at the end of each day.

Peter Chepus studied art at the Cape Cod School of Arts and at the Armory Art Center in Florida. For the past seven years he has been conducting painting workshops in Jupiter, Fl. He is a native of Cuba and has been painting professionally for the past 22 years. His solo exhibits include the Palm Beach Hibel Museum of Art, Palm Beach Council on the Arts, and the Truro Public Library. He is represented by Cortile Gallery in Provincetown, and Creation Gallery in Florida.

In this process-oriented drawing & mixed media workshop we will explore various methods and meanings connected to surface - both practically and conceptually. Nonlinear narratives will be developed through selective procedures such as marking, rubbing, layering, erasing, scratching, smudging, staining, blotting, etc. Chance operations and time-mapping will be used as ways to generate composition. All sorts of 2-D images, including photographic and copier images will be considered fair game. A scanner and printer will be provided during the workshop, as well as various other toys and tools. Each participant can expect to take away an exciting set of work that pushes beyond his/her own conventions into new creative territory.

Anne Flash has been on the Cape for ten years. Before that, she lived in New York City, and Hartford, CT., where she was on the faculty of Trinity College. She is currently teaching at Cape Cod Community College, where she was also the 2008 Artist-in-Residence, with a one-person show at the Higgins Gallery. Her BFA is from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and her MFA is from Hunter College in New York City. She was awarded painting residencies at Yaddo and at The Millay Colony for the Arts. Her work has been exhibited in New York City, and around New England. In 2007, National Public Radio produced a profile of one of Flash's drawing classes at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum for a series called 'The Price of Paradise'. She was also featured in 2008 as part of an online gallery for WCAI's radio series "Fresh Water-Salt Water". Many of her drawings and paintings have been acquired by private and corporate collections throughout the Northeast. Her belief, both as an artist and a teacher, is that the practice of drawing lies at the heart of all art-making.
