this one day mixed media painting class, is focused on teaching students
the value of creating using loose and free techniques. breaking down
boundries and confined ideas about art learning to move fluidly allowing
an engaged experience rather than wrapped in contenplation. its better to
make mistakes then stand around worrying about them some of the best
things happen on accident. learning to move forward with each step to
focus on art being fun rather than stressful.. to create free and
expressive work we must have fun and feel free to take risks this is what
makes work resonate with passion..
a mix of demonstration, lecture and hands on painting will introduce
students to my ideas, techniques and the purpose of my work.. this is an
open level class as there is plenty to be learned by someone who has never
painted before or those who are fulltime artists and teachers.. what i
teach is far more about how and why than an outcome..
meaning its more about developing techniques and approaches to art then a
how to paint something specific. i push students to further there
own work and ideas useing my ideas and approaches.. and for me im looking
to make creation fun. remembering this will keep us comming back for more.
