Description
In this class, we are going to be foraging and creating tools to use in our art to create interesting and unique to us mark-making. We are going to be searching outside in our yards, gathering twigs, pinecones, straw, and more… We are going to be searching around our house, looking at the craft store, and going through our art supplies… to gather our own, or create our own, collection on unique mark-making items.
I love using and creating unique things for my art. Things that no one else would be using or think of. It is what gets us to a more authentic place for the unique art we were meant to create. I know you’ll love some of the ideas I have to show you in class, many free items that come to your house that you might not think to save, like the stuff you find in packages and wrapping materials. Corrugated cardboard is one of my very favorite things to save!
Come with me as we look around and collect interesting things we can use in our art-making practices.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in learning more about foraging and creating unique tools for mark-making
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
Supplies:
This is pretty wide open, as what you collect will depend on what appeals to you. In part of the class, we are foraging and gathering all the things that look interesting for mark-making. We are trying out those tools and saving the ones we love. In part of the class, we will be making some tools to use. Things that will be unique to us that no one else will have.
I have used paper clay in class to make some handles to hold some of the unique things I found – so you might watch the paper clay section and see if that appeals to you. You could also just gather some sticks that look like they would make great handles and use those instead. So many options and choices to create your own unique mark-making tools.
