'Piece' workshop for Teens with Mike Sato
Tuition: $20
Level: Open to All Levels
Enrollment: 12 seats remaining
In this workshop students will begin with a simulation 'pieces' in their black book to learn how to layer color in a specific order. Students will learn specific techniques through the process of letter shapes on the fly as the âpieceâ progresses. Students will then create a bigger pieces on a board or wall learning to make a full color âpieceâ using characteristics like 'arrows' 'dodats' 'cuts' 'cracks' 'connections' etc.
Piece (short form of masterpiece) is a large and labor-intensive graffiti painting. Pieces often incorporate 3-D effects, arrows, and many colors and color-transitions, as well as various other effects. Originally shorthand for masterpiece, considered the full and most beautiful work of graffiti). A piece requires more time to paint than a throw-up. If placed in a difficult location and well executed it will earn the writer more respect. Piece can also be used as a verb that means: "to write".

Fall Art Experience
October 3 - 7, 2011, 9am-3pm
This Fall break, students will explore the traditional Mexican Holiday DiÂa de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) through the colorful art, folk traditions and its close association with the more common Halloween celebration. Students will have the opportunity to celebrate family members, friends or pets who have passed using 'assemblage' techniques to create unique and beautiful altars. A simple box can be transformed using paper mache, old family photos, paper flowers, and found objects. Demonstrations and images of alters will give students a general idea of how to compose their own alters. The mixed-media assemblage will combine hand-made elements (skeleton characters and paper flowers) with family photos and found objects. Working with 2D and 3D elements students will learn several ways of composition and express themselves through creating symbols.

'Writing Styles' workshop for Teens with Mike Sato
â...what makes people react negatively to graffiti is it's propensity to be used as a "marker" rather than art. Good graffiti, like any good art work, takes vision, planning, effort...â â Joe Fusaro, Hawthorne, NY
This workshop is for teens interested in learning how to become a 'writer' (graffiti artist). In this class students will learn the basics of 'letter form' which will be the foundation to doing bigger and more complex pieces. The class will emphasize the importance of being able to write from a-z in graf style rather than doing your name or alias. By the end of the class, each student will have developed their own scene of âstyleâ - the roots to graf writing.

Special guest artist Peter Kowalke will guide a series of lessons about the ecosystems within our remote Island home and the deep waters of creativity within ourselves. Within the ecosystems are species that the students may rarely see, but which play an important part in the health of Hawaii's environment. The end product of these classes will be a chess set, a model for a large scale installation piece about evolution and creation and a series of clay tiles. These artworks will depict the many levels of Hawaiian ecosystems --- from zooplankton to mammals. The students will have a richer understanding of their environment, of science and art concepts, and of their own creative potential to contribute to the community.
This program extends far beyond the goal of creating art objects. The community connection and reweaving of cooperative feelings are the larger more important products. The activities and the designed curriculum moves into the lives of the students. The children work on cooperative group skills that translate into the rest of their lives as well.
Peter Kowalke has a deep and committed relationship with the land and the various cultures of Hawai'i. He has his undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University and a Masters in fine arts from U.H. Manoa Having grown up in Kailua, O'ahu, he spent much of his time in the ocean and exploring the forests of the islands. Kowalke formally studied Fine Art, English, and the Natural History of the Hawaiian Islands at the University of Hawai'i. He has also had over twenty-five professional art exhibits beginning at age sixteen.
Seven years ago, Kowalke and a board of advisors created a company, Art in Sight, devoted to the integration of art, science, and health education. Art In Sight has completed four major installations around the island of Hawai'i, working with all ages and a variety of communities.
This program is supported by funding through the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and through appropriations from the Hawaii State Legislature and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
WINTER ART EXPERIENCE - THE PAPER TRAIL
Tuition: $75
Level: Intermediate
Enrollment: 9 seats remaining
Students will learn all aspects of the the paper-making process using the fibers from locally grown wauke (Hawaiian mulberry). Participants will assist in the harvest, steaming, cooking, cleaning, and beating of the fibers as well as equipment preparation. By the third day students will begin to pull their sheets of hand-made paper. During the second week students will finish producing sheets of hand-made paper and begin to shift into image-making possibilities through the print-making process. A look at diverse reference materials will help students design unique symbols to represent self, family, community, and our world. Stamping, monoprint, rubbings, and dry point will be utilized to "decorate" the hand-made paper.
GOALS: Students will gain knowledge about Hawaiian canoe plants with a focus on wauke and the Japanese method of fine art paper-making. Through the process, students will gain insight on two distinct island cultures, Japan and Hawaii. Overall, all involved will build a deeper respect and sensibility for nature and the environment by working with sustainable art-making practices.
Please visit Amy Greenwell's Ethnobotanical Garden in Captain Cook (323-3318) and the Kona Outdoor Circle (329-7286) for more information on canoe plants and other native plants.
