Description

Instructor: Susan Osborn Friday, Saturday, Monday, 1–4 PM January 13, 14, 16 (3 days, 9 total hours of instruction) AAC Art Studio $135 members/150 nonmembers + materials fee Follow your imagination and the patterns in fabric scraps as you combine them with painted paper cutouts and paints. This is a chance to recycle many colorful leftovers into fantasy creations. Compositional forms will be explained with a focus on movement and repetition. During the first meeting, Susan will demonstrate techniques of how to prepare paper and glue items smoothly, and she will provide some fabric scraps for your use. She will be working on a mixed-media collage while in class. The following classes will be used to complete a larger work using a still life or photographs as an inspiration. This class can be used as a continuation of the Spring Session class as well as a welcoming start for new students. (I have a video uploaded to Google that can be shown to registered students.) Materials: Recommended or required: 11” x 14” canvas boards; a larger than 16” x 20” piece of Masonite or canvas board; photographs to use as inspiration; magazines and newspapers for collage; fabric scraps of various patterns; scissors; a pencil; Mod Podge or acrylic medium for gluing; an inexpensive 1”–2” brush for glue application; acrylic paints; rags and paper towels; paintbrushes in various sizes; a palette (tinfoil, plastic lids, or a paper palette); a small squeegee or 4” x 6” piece of hard plastic (a fake credit card like those sent in the mail) to adhere collage.
