| Sketching The Memorable Art Quilt Arrival: 25th July to Departure 1st August 2012 Registration Deadline is 16th May 2012 ************** Experience the delights of simple plein-air sketching in the lovely villages and countryside of Italy, and turn those sketches into an art quilt commemorating your visit to the Abruzzo School of Creative Art. Even without an art background, you can learn to sketch simple impressions and then trace, ink and shade these onto fabric. Those with the ability to take photos and access them (i.e., an ipad) can take photos on our sketching walks, and trace from them as well. Realistic or abstract? Depending on your taste, your impressions of color, light and form can be as realistic or as abstract as you wish. Create a master pattern in the workshop that you will use to complete your project at home of these special memories created with your own fabric art. No prior art experience necessary. |
Workshop format:
Day 1: Class introduction and exercises introducing sketching techniques and learning to use class surface design materials on fabrics.
Day 2: Into the field -- we take a morning walk, sketching in a rural setting. Afternoon, spend class time tracing sketches onto fabrics.
Day 3: Morning sketching trip to Sulmona for sketching in the town. Afternoon, spend tracing and shading sketches onto fabrics.
Day 4: Creating the Master Pattern: students begin to plan their memory art quilt, and using an overhead projector, trace their Master Pattern onto large paper sheet. Techniques of how to combine their fabric sketches with other fabrics at home will be covered.
Day 5: Final day of plein-air sketching, in the location each student most desires for their piece. Final work with the fabric sketches as needed.
