SUMMARY:The Art of Seeing; photographing farm, garden and forest
DESCRIPTION:Saturday evening, June 25th, 7:00pm – 9:30pm Sunday, Jun
 e 26th, 2011, 8:30am – 4:00pm instructor: Brian Harris and Michael A
 bleman cost: $145 + HST (lunch included)\nObservation is one of the mo
 st important skills for any artist, whether painter, photographer, mus
 ician, farmer, gardener, or forester. Learning to see and interpret wh
 at we see in creative ways brings depth and meaning to our daily lives
  and work. In this workshop we will use the dynamic landscape of Foxgl
 ove Farm, it’s historical buildings, farm fields, orchards, and the 
 wildness of its forests, creeks and lake to explore with the camera. W
 e will encourage students to transcend the stereotypical and explore a
  deeper way of seeing and sense of place. While the workshop will init
 ially allow for wide ranging exploration, each participant will be ask
 ed to articulate and focus on a particular theme, develop that theme, 
 and present their work for critique to faculty and students during the
  last afternoon and evening. Both teachers will provide an evening pre
 sentation of their work with discussions on their own particular creat
 ive process. While technique will be touched on where necessary, this 
 is not a technical workshop. Participants should already be technicall
 y comfortable, and bring their own digital equipment. Laptops for down
 loading and processing of images are suggested but not required, we wi
 ll provide large screen viewing for image critique.\nSince 1989 Brian 
 Harris has used his photography and project design skills to raise fun
 ds and public profile for not-for-profit organizations. His two main c
 lients have been Seva Canada, an NGO that restores sight to the blind 
 in Asia and Africa and FarmFolk/CityFolk, a Vancouver based charity th
 at promotes and supports small-scale, sustainable farming in BC. \nMic
 hael Ableman has been making photographs for over 40 years. His work h
 as appeared in publications throughout the world and in solo exhibitio
 ns at the Oakland Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Fie
 ld Museum in Chicago. Ableman has written and photographed three inter
 nationally acclaimed books on food and agriculture.\n\nFor more inform
