Mixed Media Collage
$225 and $50 Lab Fee Saturday, May 25 10:30-4
The (anything goes!) Mixed Media Collage class will utalize painting skills, and introduce or refine other creative and/or nontraditional methods in artmaking. Students will be painting (using a variety of different kinds of paints), drawing, collaging, stamping, stenciling, working with xerox transfers, and more. If it makes a mark, it will be used! There will be material demonstrations such as collage and transfer techniques, as well as instruction on how to create your own stamps. Students are encouraged to brainstorm and gather some of their own materials before the beginning of class. There is an 8 student limit for this class.
The following is a (optional) list of materials to gather prior to the start of class:
- Collage Material such as found papers (ie. old wall papers, papers found around the home or streets), old books with images of interest, etc.)
- A set of favorite acrylic paints (not mandatory)
- Favorite brushes (not mandatory)
- Favorite image(s) you would like to make a stamp from. This would be an image that you could trace or free hand for later carving
- Xerox copies or prints from your inkjet printer (for the xerox transfer process)
