Art/Photo Workshops
The Art of Seeing in Ireland: A Workshop for Photographers, Writers, and Visual Artists
Leader: Patrick Keough Cost: 900 Euro / $1400 MEALS INCLUDED!
(Airfare not included – we will all meet at the Retreat Center)
Beara Peninsula, Southwestern Ireland
One-week Residential Retreat at Anam Cara Artists Retreat in SW Ireland, arriving Saturday, 31 July and departing Saturday, 7 August 2010
The Art of Seeing workshop will give participants creative techniques and exercises for developing heightened awareness (hypersensitivity) to the world, to look beyond mundane and commonplace subject matter, and break external visual references down into basic lines, forms, colors, values, and textures — to abstract (frame) these commonplace external references into new and visually interesting compositions in both words and pictures. It’s all about learning to see as an artist. These techniques can be applied to any art form; however, we will be focusing on writing, photography, and sketching during the retreat. Each day we will be hiking and biking the scenic Beara Peninsula (Southwestern Ireland) to photograph, sketch and/or write our observations and experiences. We will also create a workshop blog to post all our work to and have evening critique sessions over your beverages of choice.
Contact me at pkeough@hotmail.com for more information or just post a comment to this blog post if you are interested in attending this workshop. I am only taking 12 artists on this trip.
