Mixed Media is a unique class that offers an exploratory experience for students. Projects are intended to provide opportunities for students to use a variety of materials and learn or experiment with ways of using them. At the same time students are encouraged to follow their own creative interests regarding subject matter and interpretation.
During the last 2 years of Mixed Media classes students worked with materials and techniques such as:
• Embossed metal foil (bas reliefs)
• Cast paper on block prints (hand-made paper reliefs)
• Cellulose/paper/plaster casting (hand made, hand painted plates)
• Hand painted silk scarves
• Soapstone carving
• Screen printing
• Soft pastel combined with watercolor painting
• Glue-line paintings
• Dimensional paper sculpture
• Acrylic painting & murals on fiberboard
• Watercolor and gouache painting
• Airbrush painting
• Pallette knife painting
• And even more!
Because students work on various projects simultaneously they must be able to work independently. Students should expect to use a variety of resource materials (wood, canvas, paint, paper, plaster, metal foil, fiberglass screen, etc.) tools and techniques including some that they may develop on their own. Projects will frequently require multiple weeks to complete. This is NOT a drawing class and there will be no planned instruction as it is expected that students can already draw well enough to participate.
If you have a student who loves art and has the interest and ability to expand their own creative boundaries they will love Mixed Media.
