Using imagery drawn from the natural world, we'll make pages rich with personal content about our daily lives and experience. Images of stones and trees, wet leaves, and sandy beaches, waves lapping he shore or snow drifted high along a fence line... These will be how we personalize and draw inside the outside world. This class will be part technique and part process as we create monoprints using gelatin plates, prints using leaves, and make some simple image transfers, and then begin to work inside these images with guided exercises to connect our daily lives with the natural world. We’ll try a few tricks to create a couple of images using bras wiremesh to use inside our pages. This is NON-traditional nature journaling- not botanical illustration but an illustration of our experience with the large and the small of the world around us. A small supply list, including your own journals, perhaps with some pages prepped for work, along with your photos will allow us to focus on filling pages. Print some photos - using your ink jet printer- of the natural world around you- not just stunning vistas, but pebbles and trees, and plants and puddles- the things that catch your eye daily. Put some on regular old paper, some on Staples brand matte paper, and some on any surfaces of your own choosing. Buy a newspaper on the way to class so you have a good, replenish-able surface for gluing and working. Choose your paint to reflect the colors found in your images to create a cohesive color palette. Kit fee of $20 payable to instructor at beginning of class
