The Atelier Studio Program of Fine Arts

Hybrid Class (Students may attend either in-person or via Zoom.)

Explore your imagination! In this class you will be coached through an imaginative art-making process that Christine uses for creating personal work and client commissions. Emphasis is placed on intent and visual narrative. Christine's teaching is tailored to the needs of each student, be it exploring personal themes or creating work for your portfolio. Assignments can be provided or self-generated. You may work using traditional or digital media. The goal of this class is for you to learn this process (with modifications as needed) and build confidence in and further develop your unique personal creative abilities, therefore, we will avoid using image generators. During class, critiques and discussion are done in a supportive group atmosphere. Students will work on their projects between classes. We use Google Classroom to share information and review projects (Gmail account needed for access). Classes are not recorded. Email Christine with questions or concerns: christine.mitzuk@theatelier.org.

Fall session: Includes lectures on Christine's imaginative art process, idea generation, composition, values, and color choices.

Winter/spring session: Does NOT include the lectures. Minimal introduction to the process on day one. After that, classes begin with a sketch prompt, and then we dive into project check-ins/critiques.

Summer session: TWO separate classes will be offered: one with the lectures, and one without.
