SPECIAL EVENT !!!
Painting Mixed-Media Mandalas
Mandala means "circle" in Sanskrit. Painting mandalas can bring a meditative sense of focus, reflection, peacefulness, and discovery. And, they are fun!
In this class you will create mandala circles, starting with loosely painted watercolor backgrounds; then, using gouache, acrylic markers, and gel pens, you will move around your mandala circle, creating symmetrical designs and patterns with shapes and colors that are unique to your own intuitive mark-making. Two demonstrations are given during the class showing the mandala painting process and how to use these mixed-media art materials. No art experience is necessary. All supplies are provided.

Strengthening Observation for teens
In this three week class we will focus on strengthening your observational skills through simple still life set ups. These set ups will be the prompt from which you can explore a variety of media which will allow each student to come to an even better understanding of their developing style. Students will also come away with a solid knowledge about the various materials that will be used with the intent of refining their appreciation for specific applications.

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
Positive and Negative Shape creation, Unity, Balance, Illusion of space and Focal point are all important design principles in the creation of art. We will work with each element separately to understand their use in compositions and see how other artists have used them in their work. This is a class on concepts and we will use mostly collage materials to study each concept and create many variations in a collaborative workshop environment. These design concepts are applicable to all forms of 2 dimensional art and used in many combinations in drawing, painting and photography.
All materials will be provided.
