Magic 3-D Drawing & Painting Workshop
for Artists Ages 7–11
Imagine the excitement of your child creating a drawing that, before their eyes, magically becomes an amazing 3D image!
Using crayons, colored pencils, washable markers, and acrylic paint pens, students learn to create 3-D artworks on black paper and cardstock. Each artist creates their own two-dimensional art images which, when viewed through a special pair of glasses, become three-dimensional!
While more intricate and sophisticated images are possible with the technology used here, this workshop is specifically designed for young artists. No special skills or equipment or required.
All materials will be supplied during the workshop. At the end of the session, students go home with several 4x6” drawings and a pair of special glasses designed for viewing their images in three dimensions.
Class Date: Saturday, March 14, 10:30am–12pm
Tuition: $50 per student
Class Size: limited to 8 students to ensure individualized attention and a focused learning environment.
Meet Your Instructor,
Teaching Artist Ray Pelley
Ray has been a working artist in the Northwest for 40+ years.
He began his career creating limited-edition serigraph prints before he turned to painting, and is versed in a variety of mediums including gouache, acrylics and oils. His artwork has been represented in local and national galleries.
Throughout his childhood and career he has been fascinated by stereoscopic (3D) imagery. As a youth, he was fascinated by the stereopticon viewer his grandparents owned, and of course the famous ViewFinder products so familiar to us all. He also enjoys red/blue anaglyphic images and was excited when polarization techniques allowed for the production of 3D movies.
The intriguing thing about the current technology used in this workshop is that, while most forms of 3D images are confusing to view without the use of glasses, this technique allows for the original artwork to be completely viewable without distortion even without the glasses. There is no blurring, duplication of image, or any other disconcerting interference while enjoying the original artwork. However, the art becomes amazingly alive when the glasses are employed.
Ray is excited for the opportunity to introduce this creative and exciting art form to the local arts community.
