Thursdays: Mixed Media
with Elyse Clark

Students will work towards an understanding of composition and abstraction in a mixed media piece. Students will work on their own individual works, but we will have time for critiques on their classmates work, and they will be open to share with each other anytime they need to. They will understand the meaning of mixed media and will work on a large scale to produce a finished abstract piece.

Thursdays

Time: 3:00 - 5:00 PM
Free to students
Location: The Studio

February: 9, 16, 23
March: 8, 15, 22, 29
