INSTRUCTOR: STEPHANIE MOON
April 3rd-24th (Thursdays 10:00am to 12:00) and May 1st-22nd (Thursdays 6:00 to 8:00 pm)
What inspired Picasso’s early masterpieces? Eric Carle's famous children’s books? Collage! During this beginner level four week course, explore the world of mixed media art and collage that has been inspiring artists for over a century. From learning about the origins of collage to experimenting with a variety of techniques and processes, you will be guided in creating your own pieces of art in a welcoming environment with no wrong answers. Learn how to utilize acrylic paints and common tools to create visually interesting collage materials, embracing our desires to doodle, splatter, tear and play with composition. At the end of four weeks, you will have a new collection of techniques for future experiments, and 2-3 original pieces of art. You do not need to be experienced in painting or drawing to be successful in this class.
