MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE 1

 

MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE | LEVEL ONE
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.

MATERIALS
All supplies provided with a $30 fee, payable to your instructor on the first day of class. Bring an apron if you like!



MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Stephanie Moon has been creating and teaching in Colorado Springs for the past 15 years.   Originally from Michigan, Stephanie developed a deep love of nature and the arts, which is obvious in her work. Stephanie has a BFA in Painting from Western Michigan University, and 15 years of experience teaching both high school and adult students. While Stephanie’s work is characterized by intense color and concentrated mark making, she believes the key to a budding artist’s success is experimentation and the embrace of individual strengths.    

Stephanie is a full-time artist whose work you can find in Colorado Springs, Estes Park, Breckenridge and Steamboat. When she is not in the studio creating and teaching, she is probably out hiking or spending time with her husband and red heeler.
