This class is a low homework enjoyment class. It is designed to bring out creativity and self-expression within the student’s art with a relaxing and fun approach. It is helpful to already have some drawing skills but is not necessary. Mixed Media is not only fine art but can also be considered arts and crafts. Students create mixed media art on a variety of papers, canvas, wood, and other creative surfaces. What we will learn: Unusual painting, printing and ink techniques, collage, assemblage (both 2D and 3D), altered objects, the use of words and writing in art, the process and use of pop-ups, tags, and origami, and the experimentation of add-ins with found objects including those from nature, fiber, and texture mediums as a way to elevate their art.
Students will use: Inks, pencils, crayons, markers, pastels, and polymer clays papers, glues, buttons, fabrics, found objects, photos, metal, fibers, and things from nature, to name a few.
There is a $30 material fee included in the cost of this class.
