Announcing the GBSS Spring Break Art Workshops! Designed for younger students, either middle or high school-age, this four-day set of workshops covers the various processes involved in creating paintings, both realist and abstract. Included will be discussions of creativity and motivation. It will be packed with information that even adult artists strive to find out, and will be an invaluable experience for young artists as they enter high school or college. Put together by artists who have examined their own pre- and post-secondary experiences and shortcomings, the aim is to provide young people with a knowledge and understanding of art that is often provided too late--after the development of necessary skills that takes place in our teenage years. We look forward to having fun and sharing our knowledge with young artists in an exciting stage of their lives. Check back soon or email us for registration form and more information, including schedule of events.
Workshop cost is $100 for four days.
The classes will be taught by Erich Boldt and Matt Duckett. Erich Boldt is a substitute teacher for the La Crosse School District, and has taught in five school districts in Wisconsin. He graduated in 2007 from UW-Stout with a B.S. in Education and a B.F.A. in Fine Art. He has exhibited work across the state. Matt Duckett is a recent UWL grad with a B.A. in Fine Art and a B.A. in English. He has already won numerous awards and commissions during his young career, including being commissioned to create a portrait of new UWL Chancellor Joe Gow for his inaugural ceremony, and being the only UWL student commissioned by the UWL Foundation to create a new piece of work for their collection. He is also the two-time winner of the Dale and Betty Kendrick Award for a Painter, the highest award available for a painting student at UWL.
