$75 + hst | All materials included
Share some art-love with our furry friends in this playful afternoon of mixed media exploration and collage with artist Eileen MacArthur! Inspired by the Neo-Expressionist work of American pop-culture icon Jean-Michel Basquiat, we will be using a variety of materials and approaches to explore how artists convey emotions and ideas. This workshop is all about using an abstract painting approach and getting a little messy! No experience necessary!
Eileen will guide students in techniques for mark-making and image transfers onto an 8”x10” canvas (provided), as well as composition, and layering.
Please bring along colour and/or black and white photocopies of your pets, in a range of sizes. We will be using these to trace or collage directly onto the 8”x10” canvas, so please don’t bring originals that you wish to keep.
