The Current: One Image, Four Perspectives: Exploring Mediums & Expression

Thursday June 5

5:30 PM  –  7:30 PM

Join artist Paige Pettibon for a four-session workshop at the Tacoma Art Museum that explores how different artistic mediums transform the same image. Participants will choose from one of four photographic images and reinterpret it through four distinct approaches, each designed to develop essential artistic skills.

These workshops take place 5:30-7:00pm on Thursdays and 11:00am-12:00pm on Saturdays:

 Session 1/ Charcoal: June 5th, 5:30pm-7:00pm

Focus on contrast and value, learning to break an image down into light and shadow

Session 2/ Collage: June 7th, 11:00am-12:00pm

 Experiment with abstract shapes and color relationships through layering and composition.

Session 3/ Watercolor: June 26th, 5:30pm-7:00pm

 Play with transparency and layering to create depth, movement, and mood.

 Session 4/ Oil Pastels: June 28th, 11:00am-12:00pm

 Bring the image to life with bold, opaque colors and expressive mark making.

This workshop is open to all skill levels and encourages playful exploration of materials. By the end, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how different mediums shape artistic interpretation and walk away with a unique four- part study of their chosen image.

 By registering, you are committing to attending all four sessions as this will be a set cohort. There is limited capacity for these workshops.
