Summer Schedule
Exploring the Creative Process Through Mixed Media : Hosted by the City of Emeryville
Learn about your creative process through mixed media art making! This class focuses on loosening up your creativity through drawing and collage exercises. No drawing experience is necessary; just bring your imagination and an open mind.
We will explore the creative process by learning mixed media techniques and exercises to open the imagination and observe how it feels when working in a particular way. For example, working small (tiny) vs large--how does your body feel in comparison? Is it frustrating or liberating? If you were asked to write one word of your choice over and over how would it change? Would it be less or more meaningful? The limitations in each exercise will allow the endless possibility of what art can be feel less overwhelming and more inspiring.
This class is geared toward those who have a creative block or simply do not know where to begin and as a bonus...it's fun! We are hoping that much of what will take place during this course is freedom of expression and individualized knowledge of what the creative process is.
