In this workshop, we will experiment with acrylic mediums to create colorful translucent landscapes that are inspired by Pesce’s use of inventive nontraditional materials.

In this two-day workshop, students will create a sculpture inspired by the inventive nontraditional art of Pesce. We will design an organic object and infuse it with its own personality.

This collaboration will begin to demonstrate the intrinsic relationship between music and dance.

Musician: Cellist Erica Ogihara, Dancers: Matthew Gilmore, Sammy Altenau

In this workshop, we will explore re-mapping through the use of existing geographic maps. Inspired by the mountains of Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, students will incorporate dynamic two-dimensional layers with collage.
