$1850 (includes housing, admission fees, meals, and transportation to and around Santa Fe)
Page began bringing small groups of her art students to Santa Fe in 2018. Each trip is unique and emphasizes a particular theme. This summer’s trip focuses on different ways artists respond to landscape, including traditional painting, drawing and photography to art that addresses environmental issues in more contemporary ways (technology, installation, performance).
We will visit local galleries and museums in Santa Fe, spend an afternoon painting and drawing “plein air” in the old adobe village of Galisteo. We will have studio time every day either outside in the landscape or at home in our “home studio.” And we will have plenty of down time at our airbnb to enjoy delicious home cooked meals, play games, watch a movie and enjoy each other’s company. It’s an intensive week, but a playful one too. Art-Away trips are all about creativity, friendship and new experiences!
My goal for every Art-Away trip is to
- expose students to both contemporary and traditional art in person.
- teach about the creative thought process and techniques of different artists.
- show that art grows out of our individual experiences and personalities, and that we can express our unique selves in a way that connects us to each other.
We use photography, sketch books, even sound recordings to find direct and personal connections to what we see and experience throughout the week. As each student collects their own, what we refer to as “noticings,” they will explore ways to assemble them into a final piece of art. What they come up with is wide open and may only be the start of a more extensive piece that they complete later (there is only so much time in a week!). Past projects have included a series of photographs, collage, painting, a comic book, installation. Collaboration is encouraged!
Limited to 8 students
