Fellowship Description
In this course, we will focus our attention on the artistic concept known as
Chiaroscuro, an Italian terminology that conveys the interplay between light and
dark in hopes to express an emotional response through the medium of images and
films. Our mission statement for this educational program is to offer comprehensive
guidance to our participants, referred to as fellows. We hope to facilitate their interest
in Chiaroscuro's integration into the realms of both photography and cinematography.
Throughout the duration of this course, fellows will be tasked with the capture of
scenes that skillfully incorporate the Chiaroscuro principle, thereby cultivating a
refined understanding of its application. To support this learning journey, we intend
to direct this course and provide lights and backdrops to assist our fellows in
comprehending the nuances of light contrast and the fundamental tenets of color
theory.

About the ArtWorks Gallery Fellowship Program The ArtWorks Gallery Fellowship Program allows teen and young adult artists (ages 16-24) to study the materials and methods of guest Artists-in-Residence in a small educational setting that encourages collaboration and artistic experimentation. Using materials and time in the studio provided for free, participants create their own unique and individual works of art to exhibit in an intentional group show in the ArtWorks V Gallery. Artists gain exposure and recognition in the local arts community, as well as the opportunity to price and sell work during its exhibition in the ArtWorks V Gallery. Artists in this program will also learn foundational skills about gallery exhibitions from local curators and museum partners, including how to effectively represent their art through artist statements, gallery talks, opening events, and community events.
