3-D COLOR WORKSHOP
Harold Linton
July 17-19
10am-6pm
Bullseye Resource Center
$400

Many artists think they know everything they need to know about color—until they encounter workshop leader Harold Linton, whose opinions on 3-D color practice are quoted in the New York Times and magazines like Departures and Metropolis. Linton has penned 14 books about color and design. He lectures at top universities from Boston to Helsinki to Seoul and runs his own design consulting group (providing color solutions for architecture and industry)—when he's not busy chairing the Department of Art and Visual Technology at George Mason University. Linton's special BECon 2007 workshop will raise questions about color that many professionals have never considered and will burrow so deeply into 3-D color theory that participants' perceptions will be forever changed. Exercises will focus on exploring the interactions among light, form, surface, and color (both opaque and transparent). Note: Material presented will not be exclusively applicable to glasswork. Mediums used in the exercises will include Color-Aid (and other) papers, designers' gouache and watercolors, and Bullseye glass.

CREATING AND PRESENTING SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS
Paul Housberg & Carla McLaughlin
July 23-27
9am-5pm
Bullseye Resource Center
$800

Learn to effectively present your concepts for architectural kiln-glass projects by working with actual RFPs (requests for proposals). Topics covered will include reading architectural drawings, developing budgets, handling renderings in conventional and digital media, and making samples. Learn what questions to anticipate and how to answer with confidence. Paul Housberg and Carla McLaughlin will guide you through the development of your own proposal to be presented to a committee of your peers. And you will also have the benefit of learning from the presentations of others. Housberg and McLaughlin will share their real-world knowledge regarding the practical details of marketing and project management. Although the emphasis is on public art installations, these concepts are applicable to corporate and private clients as well. Those who already have commission experience are encouraged to apply.
