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 produce both abstract and representational works on canvas and paper. The intention for the student is to embark on a journey of self discovery through the creative process of painting and journal work. Students will be encouraged to develop a playful response and expression that may be individual of concept or vision and that requires an outlet or visual voice. Creating art is an activity that relies on the extremes of spontaneity and discipline.
