National Art Workshop for Young Aspiring
Artists
Montana art Workshops is pleased to be able to announce the 2007 Workshop
for this summer. The dates are July 15-22I am very excited to be able
to offer a new program this year. We have exciting news for the program
this year. We will be moving to Eureka, Montana for the workshop.
The program will also be changing in many ways. New this year will
be a mentor program where each student will have an adult mentor assigned
to him or her the last 2 days of the week. The SKB Foundation will
be providing scholarships for the selected students. The scholarship
value will be $400 this year.
The beginning part of the week will prepare the student for solo work
for later in the week. The first part of the week will cover color,
form and composition. We will have sculpture as well as pastel in
the first of part of the week. The student workshop will work in various
areas around Eureka and will be based out of The Front Porch Coffee
House in downtown Eureka.
This opportunity is a unique experience for the art student. The foundation
has been working toward including the student artist into their program
for 2 years. We are very pleased to bring this opportunity to art
students. The SKB foundation is making this opportunity available
to 15 selected students. The cost of $250 each student will pay will
help offset the $650 total cost fees. The student's fees will cover
all instruction and some meals with a several meals not included.
The coffeehouse that will serve as our base for the foundation classes
and field work will take place outdoors around Eureka.
The student must specify as soon a possible if they wish to return
for 2007 and accept a scholarship. This year's group of students will
be smaller than last year's due to move to Eureka for 2007. We expect
our number to be limited to15 for 2007, so quick responses will be
needed to secure your space We need to assess how many possible open
spots we will have for this summer's dates.
New students applying this year will need to be recommended by a former
Montana Art student, an art instructor or a working artist know to
Montana Art Workshops or Susan K Black Foundation. If you have a recommendation
you would like to make for a new student please contact me.
Two-college credit will be available again this year. Anyone attending
previously will be able to apply for the credit again as the course
changes names every year. MSU Northern will be our granting Institution
again this year; the credit is transferable as elective credit. The
University does charge a fee of $100-$125 for the 2 credits.
We will have our usual 2 instructors for you to work with, Wanda Mumm
and Mark Kelso, for the first part of the week. The students will
be responsible for paying the balance after the SKB scholarship of
$250 and will also need to arrange for transportation to the Eureka,
Montana location. Sculpture materials and pastels will be available
for students as part of their tuition. Drawing and painting supplies
will need to be brought to the workshop by each student.
