Michael deMeng 9-4:30 Sunday	1127 - Morpheus Box: A Transformation Chamber	[back to quicklinks] $ 135 Plus $10 materials fee
As a kid I loved magicians. One of my most cherished memories was when I used to go to magic shops with my grandfather. I was fascinated with secret compartments, velvet curtains and trap doors. Finally, after all these years I have found a way to apply some of those childhood memories to the art-making process. In this class we will be creating an art chamber with rotating art….literally. Using assemblage and collage the students will create shadow box that has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR options for the viewer. If you get bored with an image, simply give it a spin and…Presto…a new image appears….like magic. Supply List: 1. Paint: --Titanium White --Mars Black --Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold --Quin Crimson --Dioxazine Purple --Pthalo Green (blue shade) --Paynes Gray --iridescent, or interfererence colors by Golden (pick a couple you might like to work with…Interference Blue is nice and the Iridescent Stainless Steel is pretty nifty too). 2. Brushes --Cheap 1 inch-ish --Fine detail brushes 3. Glues --Liquid Nails Small Projects --Liquid Nails Clear…or E6000 4. Cutting tools --Scissors or an exacto 5. Ephemera and collage items. You could also bring fabric and transparencies also. 6. A variety of found objects and doodads….and when I say variety, I mean variety. Anything that has an interesting shape, pattern or color would be good. Optional: --Heat gun --Dremel with cutoff wheels --Basic tools like pliers, wire cutters, etc. Materials fee includes:  box and spinning device hardware CLOSED - CLASS FULL
