Location: Cheltenham Center for the Arts, Cheltenham (directions)
Instructor: Carol Shelkin
Skill Level: Intro/refresher course
In this two day intensive workshop, Shelkin teaches traditional and non-traditional mosaic techniques to understand human facial structure and the rendering of landscapes. These techniques include: Cross-contour, highlights, color gradation, value, and types of shadows. Students learn how to see form, color, value, shape, and structure differently, and mix glass values and colors to define planes and use color most effectively. There is one hour demonstration and a life-like 12″x12″ mosaic begun. Return students may bring their own photo to render with approval, and new students may choose from a selection provided by the instructor.
