Description
In this class, we are going to get creative with collage and embrace some grunge. Most of the art I like to create is always pretty… and sometimes it is good to step outside your comfort zone, and create something you might otherwise not have created. I think being uncomfortable at your art table helps you grow, get out of ruts, discover new directions, and in general, learn and push past your current level.
If grunge is your comfort zone… great! This is a great class for you too… we are going to do several projects to get your creative juices flowing… from cut-up art (my personal favorite way to create)… to a piece on cradled board… and even a bit of paper weaving.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in exploring grungy collage art
- You love experimenting with art supplies
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
Supplies: I encourage you to use the supplies you have on hand to do your projects. Look around your house for old books, old paper, scraps, etc… and start gathering yourself a collage basket of choices. We’ll also be making some collage papers to use in class.
- Watercolor paper – I use cold press 140 lb paper for some of the projects in class. You are welcome to get creative with the papers you choose to collage and paint on.
- Various paint brushes – for painting and gluing
- Palette knife – I like a cheap plastic one for the Yes Paste Glue I’m using.
- a few pens, pencils, neo color ii crayons for mark-making options, I even chose to use some pastels in a project for a pop of color
- A few choices of paint for additional marks possibly
- I like India ink (I’m using black magic ink) for black accents and marks
- Finishing spray if you want to protect your pieces when you are done.
- Some of your favorite stencils to use on your pages – I liked ones that were adding to the grunge aesthetic I was looking for. Punchella is my very favorite one in this class.
- Cradled board – for one of the projects. I’m working on a 6″ x 6″ board in class with approx 1″ side.
- Various collage pieces and scraps – I’ll be using old book pages – you can choose what you want to use after watching some of the suggestions I have for you in class.
