228 - Experiments in Layering Text & Paint

[back to quicklinks]
$ 145 Plus $20 materials fee  

 

Explore the abstract qualities of text, as well as its meaning. Words come in many fascinating shapes, colors, and sizes. Learn to produce word collages which have the appearance of illuminated manuscripts.  You will explore ways to create thin layers of transparent paint to add mystery. Plenty of instructor demonstration and hands-on experience.  Bring magazines, newspapers, and photocopied text in interesting styles or fonts. Materials supplied will include a set of Golden Fluid Acrylic paints and mediums.
