LLART 104 - Mixed Media

Break rules, experiment with a variety of alternative techniques, and discover new visual outlets as you explore your creative self. Designed to challenge artists of all ability levels, this class will encourage creative problem solving, divergent thinking, and exploration of your personal world. Each class will begin with a short discussion of contemporary artists and art practices, followed by the introduction of several new media and creative techniques. We will work with innovative drawing, collage, print making, sculptural relief, painting, found-object, assemblage, and more. Please bring a pair of durable scissors, a small jar for glue, and a large Tupperware for take-home materials. Wear a smock and/or clothes that can get stained/dirty. We encourage registrants to gather images and objects that speak to them in advance of the first class.
