Printmaking Workshop
2022-07-19 17:00 - 2022-07-22 20:00 | The Art Hub Visual Arts Laboratories, Archiepiskopou Kyprianou 32, Nicosia, Nicosia, 2059, Cyprus
This workshop is an introduction to the basic techniques of lino printing and mono printing. Two very different approaches in printmaking.
The main characteristic of lino printing is the removal of lines and forms from a smooth surface by carving it with special tools. The printed result is an image that is formed amongst white spaces on the paper. Lino printing also provides the possibility of the creation of multiple artworks each having a different color palette by using special block printing inks.
Mono printing is offering a more vivid result without necessarily have any blank spaces on paper. With the use of oil paints one can reference a picture as inspiration for their work with an easy technique. The final result brings out beautiful prints that carry the proof of the direction of the brushstrokes during the making.

For ages 12 years and above, teens and adults

Duration of the workshop: 12 hours
Schedule:
Tuesday 19/07/22 17:00 – 20:00
Wednesday 20/07/22 17:00 – 20:00

Academic Drawing – Introduction
The methodology for Classical Drawing is a proven, step-by-step process, aiming at the realistic visualization of a subject (still life, landscape, portrait, figure.) Through a series of drawing exercises, participants study methods for recording a reference in terms of line, shape, volume, cross-contour, proportion, light logic, perspective, and compositional space. Each class focuses on a theoretical and practical application and its function in drawing.
The program includes exercises with a life model for expressive drawing with quick poses and measurement practice with long poses. It will also include studies by referencing classic master’s paintings (master copy) and cast sculptures, where a three-dimensional form is documented on the two-dimensional space of the paper. Art and theory are combined in order for the participants to reach a level or creative independence.
This introduction stands as the first seminar of a series by using linear materials (pencil and charcoal) where the study of measurement of shadow and tonality will lead to the specialization of producing form with varied shades of color on a later stage.
The seminar includes:
– Observational and Still life Drawing
– Cast Drawing
– Anatomy Theory
– Life Drawing using a live model
The methodologies the participants will learn to use are:
– Measurement Techniques
– Positive and Negative Space
– Contour lines and Form placing
– Light and Shadow placement
– Shaping and building the form
– Perspective
– Visual Arts vocabulary use
– Experimentation with traditional and non-traditional mediums and techniques.
-Who can participate:
This workshop is suitable for students preparing a portfolio for Schools of Fine Arts, university students of similar disciplines seeking specialization in specific fields and finally, amateur and professional artists who want to enrich their skillset.
Schedule:
Every Wednesday 18:00-21:00 from 22/03/2023 and Thursday 18:00-21:00 until 29/06/2023
In total: 28 3-hour meetings
The seminar is led by artist Mikaella Socratous
Mikaella Socratous is a multidisciplinary artist that focuses on classical methods to cultivate surreal narratives. After studying Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art, she decided to engage in learning about the craftsmanship of classical realism drawing and painting from the Barcelona Academy of Art.
