Explorations in mixed media drawing

Classroom

It's time to mix things up.

This class will be good for

Beginners who want to get into (or back into) making art,
Anyone who wants to try dabbling in some art for a night,
People who want to explore an idea or topic with different parts of their brain, and
Experienced artists who want to mix up their practice.

Students will:

Learn techniques for using several types of pencil and colored pencil, markers, ink, collage, acrylic paint, and acrylic mediums alone and in all sorts of combinations,
Learn techniques for creating strong complex and layered compositions with meaning,
Strengthen drawing and rendering skills,
Delve into their own subconcious gfd to explore a topic of their choosing,
Get a good work-out for their creativity muscles, and
Have a particularly satisfying sort of fun.

You’ll go home with a nice piece of your own art.

This class goes well with "How to use visual art to build community and raise awesomeness."
