Course Synopsis
Through demonstration and techniques, students will be encouraged to explore creatively mixed mediums incorporating acrylics, texture, collage, charcoal, some print making methods and more.
The intention for the student is to embark on a journey of self discovery through the creative process of painting. Students will be encouraged to develop a playful response and expression that may be individual of vision and that requires an outlet or visual voice. Creating art is an activity that relies on the extremes of spontaneity and discipline.
The philosophy for the duration will be - "go with guts and grace".
