Faculty Community and Technical College

 

 

Since 1980, award-winning artist Teresa Ascone has portrayed her impressions of Alaska in watercolor. Ascone images have appeared on the covers of Alaska Horizons, Arctic Horizons, and Marine Highway News magazines, and UAA's 1997 Summer Sessions Course Catalog. An award-winning PBS-produced video, Landscapes of the Imagination-The Art of Teresa Ascone, honored her work in 1988.

    In 1998, Teresa restructured her UAA classes into The Ultimate Watercolor Academy, a community-based learning experience for adults who want to learn watercolor in a safe, non-threatening atmosphere-a hallmark of Teresa's teaching style. Academy design consists of a series of one-day workshops and concludes with an annual student art show. Since its inception, the academy has received an enthusiastic response from the adult community and continues to attract both beginning and more experienced painters.
