Exploring Mixed Media
Fall Class | Available
Join the fun as we explore a variety of mixed media techniques including drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, and more. Be inspired by the world around us, storytelling, and images from our imagination. We'll start with guided experiences to see how different materials work together. Then, students are encouraged to pick their favorite ways to create mixed media artwork based on personal interest and ideas shared with classmates.
