Find Your Creative Voice Through Mixed Media Art Series:

Session 1: Put a Bird on It

We will be playing with birds and owls in fun and whimsical ways.

What is mixed media art?

A mixed media painting is one which combines different painting and drawing materials and methods, rather than only one medium. Any materials can be used, including collage items such as pages from magazines, newspaper, photographs, fabric, soil, or packaging. Or a mixed media piece can be as 'simple' as using two mediums, such as acrylic paints with pastel on top.

 In these sessions, we will use acrylic paint, watercolors, pens, pencils, collage paper

What can I expect in these sessions?

The workshops are a combination of discussion and exploration into your creative life at whatever stage you are at. The beauty of mixed media art is that you can be a beginner or a seasoned artist and find satisfaction in the work you are creating. Since there are no real 'rules' you are following, you have the freedom to explore and deepen your creative voice without a set of formulas to gauge your creations.

 

What kind of art background do you need to have to take the class?

These workshops are geared to anyone who wants to come and explore this medium for the first time or is a more seasoned artist who wants the community and fun of being in a creative environment.

Creativity is a Mysterious Business

 Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
