Learn several mixed media techniques to create unique painted papers and transparencies. While making and exploring students will learn how to layer with several techniques including drawing and mark-making, collage, painting, stenciling, stamping, paste paper, print-making, collagraphs and mono-printing on paper and transparencies. Using your painted papers participants will make four different book forms, accordion fold, pocket fold, single page fold and pamphlet stitch books. The books will fit inside a prefabricated hard box to be embellished with transparency and painted papers. I will be bringing lots of painting tools stamps and stencils and gadgets to play with in class.
