Mixed Media Self Abstraction

Discover your own creative language and use it to develop your artistic practice. In this class we will use multiple mediums and learn new techniques to push ourselves in exploring self-expression. This class is perfect for someone who has taken abstract art classes before and is wondering "What next?". We will combine mediums: watercolor, acrylic, collage, pencil, oil pastel, and ink. We will explore the use of symbols, written words, texture, drawing and the use of representational images. The goal of this class is to access ourselves as a source for expression; to find an abstract narrative that resonates with you. 2D abstract class experience is helpful. See Textbook and Supply List for supply list. Students who take this class are invited to participate in our Summer CE Student Art Show.
