SUMMARY:Poetics of Food with Steven Espada Dawson
DESCRIPTION:Poetics of Food with Steven Espada Dawson 590 Water St\, Prairie du Sac\, WI 53578 \nSaturday\, February 22\, 2025 | 10a-1p | Deadline to register: February 19\, 2025 \n$50 \nAges 18+ \nEating and drinking are languages fixed to the most fundamental ways we survive. Across the world\, they are embedded in cultures and traditions\, both budding and ancient\, often as some part of spiritual practice. When we’re ill\, we eat curated foods. When we’re too ill\, we lose our appetites. There are spaces in every society set aside for eating and drinking. From temples to restaurant booths\, these spaces and these acts become some of the most intimate. Sometimes tender\, often awkward. Sometimes profound. 13th Century Sufi poet Rumi writes\, “O God\, I am your spinach—cook me sour or sweet\, however you wish.” In this class we will feast on poems and make recipes of our own. We will read contemporary voices\, including Lucille Clifton\, Nate Marshall\, Chessy Normile\, and José Olivarez. After brushing up on some craft basics—where we will develop a shared language—we will focus primarily on image\, syntax\, and line. You should expect to emerge from the workshop with a better understanding of these concepts and experience creating and revising in a collaborative space. \nInstructor bio: Steven Espada Dawson is the current Madison Poet Laureate. He is originally from East Los Angeles and is the son of a Mexican immigrant; he is a former Halls Fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and Ruth Lilly Fellow at the Poetry Foundation. His writing has been anthologized in Pushcart Prize\, Best New Poets\, and Sarabande’s Another Last Call. His poems appear most recently in Guernica\, Gulf Coast\, Kenyon Review\, Ninth Letter\, and Poetry Magazine. He has taught creative writing at colleges\, community workshops\, and prisons across the country.

SUMMARY:Colored Pencil: Drawing with Impact and Confidence with Rhonda Nass
DESCRIPTION:Colored Pencil: Drawing with Impact and Confidence with Rhonda Nass \nThousands of us who began playing with colored pencils have become professional artists exhibiting in galleries around the world. It’s a new day for colored pencil. This workshop is geared to give you—a novice\, veteran or professional–added colored pencil skills that offer meticulous detail\, wide value range and color accuracy beyond the ordinary. We’ll review contemporary colored pencil artworks\, go over various application techniques\, but focus on a unique (“airplane”) stroke and a unique process of layering from light to dark\, create a permanent referable visual aid to ensure your ability to match any color you may need to replicate\, develop the means to get atypical lighter\, brighter colors on dark paper\, then begin a custom drawing—your concept\, subject and design–which you’ll complete in your own space at your own pace beyond the workshop hours. \nThe skills added to your pool in this workshop: \n*drawing dramatic\, well-composed colored works on dark paper \n*becoming proficient in the airplane stroke \n*feathering coverage for seamless transition from color to color and from pencil color to paper color \n*making a color match strip as part of a system kept for all future works to ensure matching color…NO guesswork \n*introducing brighter/lighter values beyond that possible with dry pencil by painting a water soluble\, white colored pencil foundation in a few isolated areas \n*approaching any new drawing with confidence because all previous skills listed are “scientifically” repeatable \n*growing in patience! That frees you to focus on the creativity and effective communication via your art. Yay! \nSUPPLIES TO BRING WITH YOU \nPaper (Ground): Preferably Canson Mi-Teintes or any paper as smooth in surface as Canson Mi-Teintes paper– no bumps or surface relief. If you are considering selling the original work\, the ground paper should also be acid free. Purchase navy\, burgundy\, dark green or dark brown paper determined by the majority of color in your subject matter or if you wish maximum drama\, choose Stonehenge Black paper.

SUMMARY:Colored Pencil: Drawing with Impact and Confidence with Rhonda Nass
DESCRIPTION:Colored Pencil: Drawing with Impact and Confidence with Rhonda Nass \nThousands of us who began playing with colored pencils have become professional artists exhibiting in galleries around the world. It’s a new day for colored pencil. This workshop is geared to give you—a novice\, veteran or professional–added colored pencil skills that offer meticulous detail\, wide value range and color accuracy beyond the ordinary. We’ll review contemporary colored pencil artworks\, go over various application techniques\, but focus on a unique (“airplane”) stroke and a unique process of layering from light to dark\, create a permanent referable visual aid to ensure your ability to match any color you may need to replicate\, develop the means to get atypical lighter\, brighter colors on dark paper\, then begin a custom drawing—your concept\, subject and design–which you’ll complete in your own space at your own pace beyond the workshop hours. \nThe skills added to your pool in this workshop: \n*drawing dramatic\, well-composed colored works on dark paper \n*becoming proficient in the airplane stroke \n*feathering coverage for seamless transition from color to color and from pencil color to paper color \n*making a color match strip as part of a system kept for all future works to ensure matching color…NO guesswork \n*introducing brighter/lighter values beyond that possible with dry pencil by painting a water soluble\, white colored pencil foundation in a few isolated areas \n*approaching any new drawing with confidence because all previous skills listed are “scientifically” repeatable \n*growing in patience! That frees you to focus on the creativity and effective communication via your art. Yay! \nSUPPLIES TO BRING WITH YOU \nPaper (Ground): Preferably Canson Mi-Teintes or any paper as smooth in surface as Canson Mi-Teintes paper– no bumps or surface relief.
