Class Description

Description

Create abstract mixed media artworks using nothing but an old book! Tearing up a classic can feel like sacrilege, but destruction can engender creation. By re-purposing something worn, old and closed we can create something new, vibrant and open.

In this class, you will learn:

  • basic collage techniques for mixed media
  • principles of composition
  • experiment with design, value, and color
  • develop unity, balance, and harmony in your art

Students will walk away with a step-by-step process for creating mixed media work with used books and 2-3 finished artworks.

Perfect for artists of all skill levels!
