Greece.
Steeped in 3,000 years of Greek history and tradition, the Greek island
of Skopelos is home to the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts. Located
above the village on a horseshoe bay surrounded by beaches, olive groves
and friendly people, Skopelos offers artists a stimulating environment
for creative work. The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts is a non-profit
foundation housing several large new studios. Its mission is to provide
space for artists from all over the world to experiment and grow through
the artistic process.
Housing
Students may arrange for housing directly through the Skopelos Foundation.
The approximate cost of housing is $400 for double accommodations
and $500 for single accommodations for the two-week period. Breakfast
is included Monday – Friday. These rates are subject to change
due to currency fluctuations.
Travel
Students are responsible for arranging their own transportation to
Athens. Students may travel to Athens with a Corcoran faculty member
working through Scandia World Travel, Inc. by calling (800)722-8091.
The Greece trip will begin with two nights in Athens (June 3rd and June 4th) to visit the
spectacular museums and historical sites, staying in a local hotel.
Students should arrive in Athens by June 3rd to join the group in touring
Athens. Students will leave as a group from Athens to Skopelos on June
5th. Students will return to Athens as a group on June 20th. A moderate

Instructor: Steven Cushner
Students will focus on the landscape of Greece and the impact of the air, the light, the color, and the terrain of the island on the people and architecture. Through drawing and painting, students will investigate the history and development of symbols, patterns, and the architecture of the island. Students will work from direct observation, from ideas and imagination, and from observation towards abstraction. Students will consider the ideas and beliefs that define image making in different cultures – the kind of images that are created, their meaning and their function. Limit 10 students.

This course will emphasize the building of a visual vocabulary
and developing it into a personal language of expression. Each day will

technical possibilities as well as general discussion about studio
practice and working methods. Studies will focus on general design,
drawing, color, and composition; conceptual thoughts used in developing
subject and content; art historical and contemporary references. Each
day students begin with a review and critique of the previous day’s
work. Following this daily introduction, students will experience a
period of experimentation with material, color, and mark making. Limit
10 students.

Credit Tuition: $1,135
Non Credit Tuition: $1,135
Instructor: Georgia Deal
This course is designed for both painters and printmakers interested in exploring the possibilities of the unique print. A wide range of both monotype and monoprint techniques will be demonstrated, from painterly to more graphic print processes. These will include simple single-plate painting methods to multi-plate registered color printing. Collage and mixed media techniques will further inform the student with the skills to translate their ideas and images into this versatile printmaking medium. Limit 8 students.

Ideal for the painter, printmaker and photographer, a variety of book forms will be covered including Portfolios, Concertina, Pamphlet, Japanese and Coptic bindings. When taken in conjunction with the other studio offerings, students will address content and the many ways the handmade book can become a document of a student’s personal journey, both literal and figurative. Limit 8 students.
The Screenprint Revealed

A non-linear approach to screen-printing will be explored in this two week survey course. The excavated print, print as adhesive and the wax and relief surface are some of the new approaches that will be explored in this “bridge medium” between painting, photography, and relief printing. Students will gain experience with local materials, such as organic dusts and powders, from the island. Limit 7 students.
The Collaborative Screenprint
PR2770
06/06/05 – 06/19/05
3 PM – 7 PM
Credits 1.5
Credit Tuition: $1,135
Non Credit Tuition: $1,135
Instructor: Dennis O’Neil
A new and versatile relationship has developed between the use of
water-based screenprinting over the past few years that has expanded
its potential for image making and its adaptability to absorbing ideas
and methods of image-making from other media. These ideas will be explored
in this advanced level class. In addition, part of the class time will
be devoted to working in collaboration with a professional artist on
their personal projects. One semester of screenprinting at the Corcoran
is a required prerequisite for this limited enrollment course.
