Getting high-quality renditions of your artwork can be an art-form in itself. This course will demonstrate how to create a seamless background for 3-D work such as sculpture and ceramics, as well as setups for flat and 2-D artwork. Using available light or fixtures that can be found around the home, as well as studio-based lighting, we’ll explore how to illuminate artwork to capture volumetric form and detail and natural color. Cameras that can be used for this class range from smartphones to DSLR’s and mirrorless. The course will also cover post-processing using apps as well as demonstrations of computer based software such as Photoshop and Lightroom. Students may bring a small-scale example of a 2D or 3D artwork for us to experiment with. This class is for adults and mature teens of all skill levels. Cameras are not included; please bring your own to class.
