In this workshop, participants perceive the landscape as something much larger than a "scene" or "view" as they collect information through drawing and color studies, photographs and writing. In the studio, we consider ways to integrate these multiple aspects of place into a single, mixed-media composition that draws upon the fundamentals of art: line, shape, color, value and texture. Participants will seek correspondences in the landscape with respect to these fundamentals based on written prompts: e.g. "Locate an element that speaks to texture, to line, to value." Combining such elements will result in a rich, dynamic representation of landscape.
Ken Marunowski’s approach to teaching is based on amiable interaction and learning-by-doing, and supplemented by engaging presentations. For several years, Marunowski taught professional writing at the university level. Presently, Ken teaches painting and drawing classes in Bend; guides families, coworkers, and friends in collaboratively creating their own large-format abstract painting; and is the Associate Teacher and Program Administrator for the Painting School of Montmiral, France.
