TEXT AS ART with Amity Parks & Brody Neuenschwander
Imagine having two weeks of inspiring and collaborative studio time to develop your concepts and skills using a variety of techniques!
In this class we’ll seek inspiration for our work by combining adventures in the field exploring the hill towns and sites of Umbria with studio exercises using texts and images to create a unique artists book. Team teaching, both instructors will bring ideas and exercises that contrast and compliment each other, from Amity’s small and delicate work to Brody’s powerful and gestural work.
