Michael deMeng 9-4:30 Monday	893 - Voodoo Doodad Dolls	[back to quicklinks] $ 130
Time to do that Voodoo that you do so well.  In this class you’ll be creating found object, mixed media Voodoo Dolls. Using techniques involving assemblage, collage, painting and anything else that pops in your head, we’ll be creating contemporary versions of this fascinating Haitian art form.  What most people don’t know is that Voodoo dolls can be used for positive ends...love...money...success...etc.   I can’t promise you that they’ll actually work but I guarantee they’ll look cool when you’re done. NO BAD MOJO Disclaimer: All Voodoo Dolls created in this class are intended for artistic and entertainment purposes only.  Any use for ill will...no matter how entertaining that may seem.... is not the class intent. This is a project workshop and students will all leave with at least one completed project (perhaps more). Supply List: --Scissors and cutting tools --Drawing tools- pens, pencils, pastels et --Brushes (acrylic) - smaller and detail --Acrylic Matte Medium – or any adhesive for collage --Paint (acrylic- small tubes): Black, White, Quinacridone Gold, Pthalo Green, and other basic colors --A few different kinds of glues- E 6000 and  Liquid Nails original formula (red tab on label) --Small do dads, found objects, collage items and photos. --Bring various items that you would like to use on your shrine - this could be anything! - (jewelry, fake flowers, price tags, watch parts, shoelaces, fake eyelashes etc.) As I said, anything. Remember, smaller objects or items that can be broken down would be most appropriate . We'll have a communal pile of do-dads that students are willing to share with others in the class...so, looks like it's time to clean out those dresser drawers
