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 class 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 still life or photographs as an inspiration.
Materials: Fabric scraps, paper,* acrylic paints, 11” x 14” canvas (or larger), gesso, brushes, clear acrylic medium, copies of old photos, magazines for collage, scissors
Useful additions: Rags; scraps of foam-core; corrugated cardboard; matboard; colored pencils; soft pastels; oil pastels; India ink; watercolors.
*Paper for the base of the artwork needs to be at least 100 lb. Pick no smaller than 16” x 20”. Various sizes and types of art paper (Arches cover, Stonehenge, Bristol) are good. All kinds of scrap paper and wrapping paper can be used in the mixed-media art piece.
