Foundation Drawing: Mixed Media

During the Renaissance, artists used mixed media to create preparatory studies for their paintings. Each material brought out a characteristic for the final work. It was not uncommon to combine colored chalk, whiting (Gouache) and ink.

The Cubists introduced collage, and contemporary artists create images from a broad array of combined materials.

We will explore the techniques and sequence of combining materials to create unique images.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
