Dan Mitchell Allison Lectures
and Workshops
1.) topics for lectures (all with slide show presentations, one hour each with Q and A)
1. "From the Inside
Out" Using my career overview with an emphasis on the general art of self
dicovery.
What dose it take to be an artist? (college
to early career level visual artists)
2. "Where Do We Go From
Here?" Current trends in art and art business in the U.S. with an emphases
on
the changes that have taken place in the
last 25 years. (college to mid-career level visual
artists and patrons)
3. "The New Order"
While nothing will replace a Peggy Guggenheim or a Leo Castelli in the
art
world, surviving well until your
15 minutes of fame comes around may depend on building a success
story in the plastic arts with the Internet,
desktop publications, and client data base. (all
career level visual artists)
4. "Everyone's Story" This
is strictly entertainment. I do an hour of story telling and reading from
many of
the works in my show. Maria, there are examples in the bigger
book I gave you. (all audiences)
2.) workshops in non-toxic intaglio printmaking
1. Intaglio printmaking, (3 hours, graduate level and above) overview of techniques in etching, colograph, and photo gravure with print demonstration in the colograph technique (studio demonstrations, no slide show, will need to be done in a print shop or lab)
2. Three color aquatint process, (one week, ten to twenty students, graduate level and above) students will learn the reductive, one plate three color process to arrive at a full spectrum of color in their printmaking (will need to be done in a print shop or lab, usual etching materials needed)
3. Black and white, and color colograph process, (one week, ten to twenty students, colloge level and above) students will learn this highly effective, non-toxic printmaking process that won the Grand Prix at the Ljubliana Print Bienneal from the artist that invented it.

4. Polymer Photo Gravure Process, ( hight degree of difficulty, two week seminar, maximum of ten students,graduate level and above.) students will learn to create their own positives in the computer, burn their images into a plastic plate with light and pull images using the three color method developed by the artist to create a full color print from their images (will need access to computer with image editing program like Photo Shop, high intensity silkscreen lamp for exposing the positive onto the plate, and print lab. Inks and some paper is included)
