Mixing It Up With Mixed Media

A fun class designed to play with canvases and some artistic, innovative ways to use them. Using your choice of medium, we will mix media, and build layers to produce a variety of textures and concepts. Adding tiny little canvases to our main canvas offers a vast opportunity for creativity. Placing a Canvas within a Canvas forms a window of opportunity certain to intrigue both the artist and the viewer.

Class includes an introduction to abstract design, some simple and inexpensive ways to create altered papers,  a few ways to create surface textures, and invites the student to see the world through new eyes, as ”found art” is collaged or embedded into the artwork.

You can count on plenty of personal one on one attention, and a final critique session designed to help all of us.
