Digital Resources: Geometry and Illusion for Visual Artists

Saturday, June 27; 10am–12pm CT In this virtual workshop, we’ll dive into some cool tools—both digital and on paper—to create tessellations, anaglyphs, patterns, and origami templates. We’ll also check out inspiring artists and ideas to prompt your creativity, and explore how to blend digital tools into your artwork. Whether you’re a printmaker, illustrator, or you just love making art, this is your chance to experiment and have fun with new techniques! Level: Intermediate. Basic computer skills and familiarity with Photoshop or other design software are required. Participants also need the ability to run design software (8GB of ram and free space on your hard drive). Adobe Creative Suite or Affinity Suite are helpful software, if you have them, but not required. Camilo will introduce and share how to access many types of design software during the workshop. Certificate: 2 hours, Category B or D Pricing $45 | $23 Scholarship | $68 Pay-It-Forward Scholarships are available for individuals facing adversity as it relates to identity, income/wealth, and lack of access to arts resources.
