"Wildly Colorful Funky Art" Workshop w/ Becky Steele.
Two-day class on consecutive Saturdays,
August 9 & 16, 11am – 3pm
”Creativity is intelligence having fun” ~ Albert Einstein.
Experimental painting is the theme of this workshop! We'll help you identify and develop your own organic style and branding.
Day 1: We’ll begin with exercises that help you tap into your “inside voices” (you know, those voices inside your head) and use them to bring forward your curiosity, concerns, interests and showcase your own personal organic expression. The first layer of your painting will be the words and phrases that tell your story.
Next, we’ll introduce colors to express the emotions and feelings around and over your words. Shapes and spaces are introduced in your third layer and will bring focus to your painting through definition and expansion by enhancing your colors and opening spaces for new ideas.
Marks will be added in your fourth layer to bring attention to and support the shapes/spaces.
Now your canvas is ready to begin your painting on Day 2! :o)
Day 2: You finish what you started on Day 1 and create your own organic painting that truly speaks from your heart.
This class is for all artists and non-artists and is a lot of fun. I’ll be using acrylics but encourage students to use their preferred paint mediums and bring multiple types of markers, pencils, etc.
I’ll use multiple games/exercises to bring out the fun and help your imaginations begin to flow. These exercises are also designed to help take away the “fear of creating”. I use them to open the workshop and throughout when I want to take artists to the next level.
The underlying theme for this workshop will be to help artists find and identify their own brand by tapping into their own unique style.
$75 non-refundable.
