The A.S. Gage Ranch is one of Texas’ best kept secrets. Founded in 1885, it has rarely been opened to outsiders, but while you’re here, think of it as your own private photography preserve! Guided access to its more than 200,000 sprawling acres gives you the perfect opportunity to tune your inner eye and practice the techniques that are guaranteed to improve your knowledge of photography and Photoshop.

Your accommodations will be the rustic but comfortable main ranch house with couples and dormitory style rooms. With all the things to see and photograph, you’ll really work up an appetite. Our hearty southwest meals, prepared on site, are sure to satisfy. (Just let us know if you have any special dietary requirements. We’re happy to accommodate you.)

Your instructor Ansen Seale is an artist and professional photographer based in San Antonio, Texas. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Copenhagen, Buenos Aires, and the Canary Islands.

Seale’s experience as a university photography instructor, lecturer and workshop clinician gives him the skills to guide you in exploring and creating your own personal vision. His 18 years of Photoshop experience and his real-world knowledge of digital image making will give you valuable, up-to-date skills. And his energetic, yet easy-going teaching style will make your learning experience enjoyable and memorable.

Your instruction will be personal and you can customize your experience to suit your needs and learning style.

COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS ISU SCHOOL OF ART VISITING ARTIST PROGRAM

Each semester, the School of Art at ISU hosts a number of distinguished national and international visiting artists for long-term residencies which last up to four weeks. The School of Art provides long-term visiting artists with studio space located in the Center for Visual Arts building. It is a private, Internet enabled 12 x 40 ft. space, intended for work on new or on-going projects. A privately owned, fully equipped, Internet enabled, furnished apartment in Bloomington’s historical district is available to artists throughout their stay. In addition, each receive a $3,300 stipend.

Travel and other expenses are the responsibility of each visiting artist. In the case of international artists, the residency may be  extended to 6 weeks (use of studio, apt., etc.). The 4 week seminar and stipend remain the same.

Long-term visiting artists give a one-hour public lecture on their work and teach a two hour weekly seminar on the topic of their expertise (four weeks total). The seminar, which may engage studio practice and/or theory, is open to both graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in the School of Art. Additionally, visiting artists develop their own creative research in a studio located in the Center for Visual Arts. The artists maintain an “open door” policy and are available to students who wish to engage in dialogue. They also meet with each of the students in the class individually (once) for critique/discussion sessions on the students’ work and ideas.

Visiting artists may be invited by art faculty to give talks in various classes, and are welcome to engage in the College of Fine Arts´ community life and activities.
