Through a series of exercises, artists participants will first practice making the relevant science visual, and then create new work about orca and salmon conservation. Skills gained: active listening and note-taking, idea generation and thumbnail sketching, and, participation in a supportive critique of individual artwork within a virtual group setting. Participants will also be invited to submit work – and submission fees waived for a new exhibit on Orca and Salmon Co-Recovery planned for 2021. (Details to come.)<\/p>\n
The methodology for this workshop was created by Creature Conserve artists, writers, and scientists with a specific objective: to foster more interaction between the visual arts and the living creatures that inhabit the world. We hope to inspire work that is both informed by science and emotionally charged.<\/p>\n
Exploring the cultural and biological significance of southern orcas and their main food source, Chinook salmon – and, the relationship between these two endangered species and the cultural identity of the Pacific Northwest. This 4-part online workshop is designed to give artists a deeper appreciation of the threats faced by these iconic animals and what can be done to solve the problem. Co-taught by Creature Conserve artist scholars Jordan K. Walker and Jeanne Dodds. Open to visual artists, all genres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
