Collage - Sketchbook to Canvas Class by Laura Lein-Svencner
Thursday Mornings 9:30am – 12:00
Mayslake Peabody Estate 1717 W 31st Street Oak Brook IL 60523
Sept 29th, Oct 6th, 13th, (No class October 20th), Oct 2nd Nov 3rd, Nov 10th
Everyone wants to create a nice piece of artwork but it seems composition is the stumbling block. In this class we will first work in a sketchbook with magazines exploring the process of how some compositions work and others don’t. Students can work in an abstract or realistic style, developing strategies to rebuild and break through creative blocks with basic design skills. Emphasis on personally visual style will be explored. Some collage palette creating will be introduced along with image transfers and the tack Iron method of collage application. Student will move their sketches to the substrates of watercolor paper and canvas. Independent study of influential artists of our past and present with image references will be shared in class discussion.
6 Weeks $175.00 Material fee $10.00 collected on first day of class.
