We're contacting you today to ask for your help in locating teen artists, age 15-19, that are serious about pursuing an art-related career, (or at least having art play a major role in their adult lives). We all know how hard budget cuts have hit the visual arts in our schools and this workshop is meant to provide a solid foundation in representational art to students: Color theory and use, drawing skills, painting and more will be covered. The workshop will take place June 18-22, 2012 and our "home base" will be at Richeson School of Art, 557 Marcella St., Kimberly, WI.
Richeson's is partnering with the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation to host a "National Teen Art Experience" here in our art school. The workshop is an intense, 5-day workshop focused on representational drawing and painting through direct observation (painting from life). Students will work in the studio and "en plein air," taught by the program's founder, Wanda Mumm and Richeson's own Terry Stanley. We will also be recuiting local artists to paint with and mentor the kids for a studio day and a plein air day.
Most costs of the workshop are borne by SKB and Richeson's, but students are asked to contribute $150 toward the cost of the workshop HOWEVER, no student will be turned away due to financial need: We will work with the students, local businesses and individuals to get sponsors for anyone who isn't able to pay the fee.
