This will be a very experimental exploration of surface creation. We will
work on the same 4 paintings for the complete week by creating different
surface techniques that allow for a build up of layers. Once the surface
is created we will score into and create finished paintings. We will
work on larger sized canvases and explore different mediums that include
wax, marble dust, tar, collage, oil primer, alkyds, and enamels. We will
work on wood, paper and canvas using oil paint and paintstick as the main
medium.
Bonney Goldstein has been a painter for 42 years working
in oil on canvas, wood and paper. She studied at the Arts Student League
in New York and Denver. She now works full time after running a corporate
art consulting firm in Texas and taking time off to work on her MFA in
creative writing at Goddard. Bonney shows in many galleries including
ones in New York, Iowa, Maine and Massachusetts. She recently had a show
at UMASS, Lowell, and the Whistler House Museum in MA. To view Bonney’s

This workshop
will be an exploration of the surface and the substance of our own images-through
manipulation and transformation. PLAY will be the operative approach.
We will utilize media ranging from low (beach-fire charcoal and sea-grass
reed pens) to high-tech (scanner-printing) in order to create individual
series related to the notion of "automatic drawing". We'll be
working on variously treated papers with such processes as: rubbing, sanding,
tracing, erasing, painting, blotting, altering, printing, reproducing,
enlarging and creating multiples. Two scanners, a printer and a laptop
equipped with Photo Shop and Flash (excuse the pun) technology will be
available to all workshop members, but computer skills are not necessary.
Anyone who wants to shake things up art-wise will benefit from this workshop.
Anne flash has been living and drawing on Cape Cod for
twelve years. Her BFA degree is from MassArt in Boston and her MFA from
Hunter College in New York City. She is a past recipient of two painting
residencies at Yaddo and one at The Millay Colony for the Arts. Her drawings,
paintings and installations have been exhibited in New York City, Boston,
Hartford, and Provincetown. National Public Radio and WGBH recently broadcast
a profile of one of her drawing field trips as part of WCAI's series called
'The Price of Paradise'. 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.

In this course we will use a variety of non-traditional methods in order
to create a variable edition of monoprints. Techniques will include pronto
and sintra plates, stencils, relief, chine collé, and pressure
prints on the Vandercook. Students will be encouraged to develop a palette
of plates to experiment with. By arranging and rearranging the order in
which they are printed and playing with varying layers of transparency
we will come away with a suite of 15-30 finished prints. (Students should
bring previously developed plates, unfinished prints, and Xeroxes of images
they want to work with.)
Jana Harper teaches at Washington University in St. Louis.
She received her MFA in Printmaking and Book Arts from Arizona State University
and was in the Core Student Fellowship Program at the Penland School of
Crafts. Jana's prints and book works have been shown locally, nationally,
and internationally. She likes piña coladas and getting caught
in the rain.

This workshop offers artists a variety of ways to explore printmaking
including editioned, one-of-a-kind and mixed media prints. Techniques
covered will range from line etching, and dry-point to the painterly possibilities
of prints made from lift-ground and toner wash drawings. Experimentation
will be encouraged along with discussions on using technique to strengthen
each artist's vision. Group and individualized instruction allow for all
levels of experience from beginner to the more advanced printmaker. Optional
techniques may include crayon resist drawing, soft ground etching, transfer
printmaking processes, chine collé, and surface rubbings. Examples
of all processes will be shown to help students decide which technique
best suits their way of working.

The objective of this course is to explore the creative transition form
working with the observed world to working from their internal creative
one. Using time tested techniques that have allowed artists for generations
to find answers within themselves to expression they did not know they
possessed various media, the class will utilize methods of drawing in
charcoal, modeling in clay and journaling to find pathways to develop
ideas to express artistic vision. Drawing: We will work with the figure
as a starting point, using charcoal on large format paper to develop confidence
and a basic visual calligraphy. Modeling: Developing from our work in
drawing, we will expand ideas into the realm of three dimensions, creating
observations form our linear work as well as non linear deductions and
artistic directions. Journaling: Using in class lectures and discussions,
each participant will develop an artists journal, building from the in-class
art work and developing the ideas and visual conclusions outside of class,
through drawing and writing.
Romolo Del Deo Deo is a New York artist who is native
of Provincetown. He has studied sculpture extensively in Pietrasanta and
Florence, Italy as well as pursue scholarships to Harvard College where
he both took a degree and taught. His sculpture has won numerous awards
and grants; including from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Gottleib
Foundation, Sugarman Foundation, National Sculpture Society. His work
is included in many private and public collections. Romolo is currently
working on a group of new sculptures for a traveling exhibition in Arabia
that explores the conflict nexus of that ancient culture's idioms and
contemporary realities. Locally, Romolo has exhibited continuously with
the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown since it opened seventeen years
ago and will be featured there this Summer. www.studioromolo.com

Collage is a layering of thoughts and ideas as well as of paper, printed
materials, graphite and paint. To the collagist, the very gathering of
materials adds yet another layer of meaning. This workshop will introduce
basic materials and techniques used in collage and mixed media pieces.
Demonstrations and discussions will encourage participants to rediscover
or develop new personal methods of layering paper, paint, and glue. A
materials list is available for those not familiar with the medium. There
will be assignments provided for those looking for more direction, or
students may work independently on their own projects. Bring materials
to class that inspire, or that you would like to work with.
Karen Coill studied fine art and graphic design at the
Museum School in Boston, and at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.
Coill's paintings and mixed media work are exhibited in galleries and
museums throughout the United States and Europe. Her work is in various
private and corporate collections. Karen's most recent paintings can be
seen locally at The Schoolhouse Gallery where she has been represented
since 2002. She is a longtime summer resident of Provincetown. For more

Students who attend this workshop should bring some materials that they
would like to include in an assemblage. We will review some assemblage
art history from masters to maniacs to pique our interest in the varieties
of form and materials available. We will explore local options for collecting
materials. We will review "gluing and screwing" choices. We
will work on one piece intensively - both in class and at home - for the
week of the course.
Michael Burbank is a self-taught artist and "junk"
collector. He's been scouring beaches, bottle dumps, and rust farms for
years looking for the odds 'n sods that spark his imagination. Burbank

The course is intended as a follow up to "Introduction to
Idea Building" but is not required. Methods explored in the course
will involve the various uses of drawing on paper, sculpting with clay
and journaling, but students are welcome to bring in other media. We will
use existing work and rapid studies in drawing, modeling and jottings
to find creative connections. Developing from our idea building we will
focus on a method and a medium to complete an artistic project. Using
in class projects and discussions, each participant will develop an artists
journal, building from the in-class art work and developing the ideas
and visual conclusions outside of class, through drawing, writing and
any other medium that can be introduced into a notebook.
