Welcome
to the South Wellfleet Project Space- offering instruction
in painting and drawing through a year-round series of workshops
designed to accommodate learning at all levels. We welcome
participants to experience the traditions of Cape Cod's cultural
and artistic heritage in a remarkable and accommodating studio
environment, and offer considerate and effective teaching
processes that facilitate learning, growth, and enjoyment.
There
is an emphasis on process and form comprehension that facilitates
a communication of seeing. By acquiring an understanding of
the visual field and its expression within a 2-dimensional
surface, participants will be enriched with abilities that
will inform them well beyond the workshops. Perhaps what distinguishes
these workshops is the lack of schematic or crafty approaches
to painting and drawing that concern "picture making".
Instead, the emphasis is on the fact that within our perceptive
capacities as well as within the tools and processes of traditional
media, a certain logic and quality is inherent and generally
accessible. The game plays the player as much as the other
way around and we will work to define the playing field, and
to understand the tasks at hand. The workshops are open to
various drawing and painting media, and stress a process-based
instruction that allows the participant a pathway to accomplishment.
The
workshops are offered on a year-round basis, meeting in the
South Wellfleet studio during inclimate weather. Throughout
the warmer months, weekend and midweek instruction will be
offered en plenair- taking advantage of the numerous sites
and spaces that are offered in the local environment. Beginning
and advanced students of all ages are welcome.
