Mixed Media Class

I've been teaching a couple of classes at ArtisTree in Woodstock this term.  In mixed media class we played around with templates and quotations, creating designs similar to the two examples I put together below, creating a "path" for the words.  The first is a quote from Alexander Calder....


"I Paint with Shapes"
9" x 12" - mixed media

The second example utilizes the same materials:  soft pencil on gessoed paper using shape templates and  masking tape and a variety of shading and line to create good contrast between dark and light.... 


"Art Consists in Drawing the Line Somewhere"
8 1/2" x 11" - mixed media

It's fun playing with new and familiar materials, using them in different ways....
