Description

I first got excited about Mixed Media art, when I realized that many of the drawings from the Renaissance were mixed media drawings. Each material used has its own unique characteristic and mark. An artist would use red chalk for flesh tones, whiting for highlights and ink for accents and dark tones. The Cubists introduced Collage, and the Fauves, exaggerated color. Learning to combine materials lends itself to drawings and paintings that you can’t arrive at any other way. This class will explore materials through observational drawing and creative image making in personal sketchbooks. In addition to the materials I have on the supply list, which I am recommending you get at Walmart, you may bring any additional supplies and materials you would like to work with.

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in larger groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible to come to a solution.

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying.

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class!

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.
