Community Art Projects: A workshop will be hosted to help your group complete a project to Create-It-Forward. Art can be made for your event’s auction, or to give as a gift.
Art and Journaling: Using paint, drawing, stamping and transfer techniques, create pages that are beautiful backdrops for the journaling of your life. A wrapped-bound book will be created to hold the pages. Writing prompts will be given to get you started.
Painting from the Harvest: Using explorative journaling we will look into ourselves and find stories from our own lives. From those stories, a personal symbolism will be used in a final acrylic painting.
Intuitive Painting: Using fluid acrylic on canvas we will allow a painting to emerge. This is a class to allow practice of letting go and allowing art to come forth on it’s own. We will used guided imagery to inspire our work.
Dress in Layers: Learn to add depth and dimension by layering drawing, painting, writing, and texture. Top it off with a focal image to make a statement.
Super Hero Trading Cards: Have you ever wished you had Super Powers? Using photos from your collection add mixed media to invent your persona and costume. These Artist Trading cards are standard size and a great way to introduce you to ATC’s that would be fun to trade.
Body Casting Sculpture: With a partner, create a transparent cast of a select part of yourself. These can be abstracted or literal representations of form, and can be adorned and illuminated.
Life Stones: Create a time capsule that will represent all the places your life has taken you. Using writing to unearth your story so far, paper will hold the story-strips that will form the stone shape. Then it will be wrapped in fabric, yarn and talisman charms that hold meaning for you. This is a project that will create a reminder to celebrate all you are.
Let It Go to Your Head: Using a three dimensional head form, create a part of your personality that is waiting to get out. Adornments can be paint, fabric, drawing, flowers, sand…the sky is the limit.
Garden of Intention: Declare what you want to bring forth in your life and create a mixed media collage that will help it grow. This art will help you form a vision, and art that will be a reminder each time you see it.
Body Mapping: Tracing your own body’s form, create an artwork that will connect your heart, your mind, and your hand using your body as a guide. This can be done in wet or dry media.
Centering with the Mandala: Using nature, music, or personal symbols as inspiration, create a Mandala using colored pencils with new techniques learned in class. The word mandala means to “focus on the center” or “circle”.
