CLARTSA028 - Mixed-Media Art Workshop
Expand your creative horizons with multiple artistic methods in this workshop. Artists at all levels are challenged to add new dimensions to their work, incorporating different media such as painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, found objects, sewing and more into their projects. Question the very foundations of art, reimagining cardboard boxes and other humble items as art-worthy surfaces, in addition to traditional surfaces like canvas and paper. Receive weekly creative concept challenges from sources as diverse as art history and literature. This supportive course includes instructor and group feedback.
