Workshop: Out of the Shadows Printmaking Workshop with RAW Art Works
RAW Art Works Printmaking Workshop at Boston University
2019
"Out of the Shadows" was a 2-part opportunity for art-driven teens from RAW Art Works who are interested in college-level art. This workshop combined hand-drawn imagery, collage, photography, and pronto plate lithography. Beginning with the elements of portraiture and collage, we explored ways in which artists of the 20th and 21st centuries have investigated the nature of identity and imaging identity. Inspired by these historical and contemporary precedents, we used process, color and risk-taking to make self-portraits. RAW students and faculty then visited the Print Studio at Boston University to work with Josh Brennan, alongside Marc Schepens. After a talk on the history of printmaking and a technical demonstration, students made countless fine art impressions from the materials they prepared.
