Design Fundamentals for Artists and Designers

Workshop

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

This workshop is for anyone who feels the need for a concentrated course in 2D design fundamentals applicable to painting, illustration, graphic design, and quilt making practice. In this four-day curriculum, students make a series of small studies that examine basic design principles. Assignments focus upon the special character of shape and contour, the development of figure/ground awareness, the use of limited color, composition, and the impact of relative scale. All studies are made in cut paper collage: no painting. Studio work is augmented by slide presentations and discussion. Based on a course I developed at the Rhode Island School of Design, this course unfolds in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.

Recommended for intermediate and advanced artists.  Ages 21+

Friday – Monday, December 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2026
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Studio 1
$458
