Exploring Mixed Media & Abstract Art:
-
We gather for a total of five sessions (2.5 hours each session), during which you will experience working with a variety of tools and mediums, allowing you to delve into the world of mixed media and abstract art.
You will make 2-3 (a minimum of 2) art pieces using painting, collage, mediums, mark-making techniques and more.
I will teach you about colour theory and harmony so that you do not create “mud.”
I will show you how to add images to your pieces, keeping with an abstract theme, even if you have no drawing experience.
We will discuss composition and what makes a “pleasing to the eye” piece of art.
You will also take home a CREATIVITY KIT to continue with your art-making practice at home.
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. I will teach you everything you need to know to feel confident in making intuitive and expressive art pieces.
All supplies are included. Beverages and snacks will be served during each session.
