Description:
A unique opportunity for students to work with artists and design professionals to build an art portfolio inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Westcott House and Falingwater. Students will engage in a series of hands-on exercises focusing on photography, videography, computer-based editing with special emphasis on creative problem solving. Program activities include individual and collaborative projects, as well as daily working sessions in and around the Westcott House. On July 5th, we will travel to Fallingwater, where we will enjoy accommodations at a nearby High Meadow, a tour of Fallingwater, and special photography and drawing study sessions.
Our lead instructor is Scott James. A Seattle-based artist, James designs and implements visual installations; mixes live video; develops custom video mixing software and integrates digital media technology. His experience includes a master’s degree in landscape architecture, graduate level teaching in landscape design and multimedia, work experience in multimedia design and project management. In collaboration with the Westcott staff, Scott created Multimedia Design Studio over 15 years ago. It has been one of our hallmark programs ever since.
The workshop is limited to 10 students. $195 for Westcott members or if referred by a Westcott member, $235 for non-members. Your fee will be applied toward lunch, supplies, and other program costs, including trip to Fallingwater. The lead instructor and other participating artists' fees are supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
