Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this art history class:

In the first half of this workshop we will learn about historic natural pigments, including where they come from, how they occur in nature, as well as their cultural implications and uses dating from the past to the present.

We will get to see and touch some of these pigment and ink samples first hand, and notice what makes each of them unique. In the second half of the workshop we will learn how to make watercolor paint from scratch using different pigments, as well as experiment with pre-made inks made from foraged plants and paints made with rare pigments (such as lapis lazuli, ochres from Armenia and Iceland, and even real meteorite!). We will then spend time working with these colorants on paper, and make original works of art. You will leave with your artwork created during the workshop, as well as a pre-made watercolor pan of your choosing to use for future projects.
