35 Paper
Mosaics & The Art Of Paste Painting (August
17-20)
Class
Fee $300
Lorrie Grainger
Abdo This
exciting class
will definitely
put both sides
of your artistic
brain to use. First,
using a playful
intuitive approach,
you’ll use paint,
paste and a
variety of
texturing tools
to decorate
sheets of paper. The
technique gives
great first-time
results, and
with some practice, your sheets
will have an
amazing depth and detail. By
the time you’re
done working “wet” you’ll have a large assortment
of paste-painted
sheets to use
for paper mosaics
in class, as
well as lots
of extras to take home for use in collages, books, journals,
greetings cards or as frameable works of art. That
done, we’ll switch sides of the brain and start assembling
paper mosaics. While paper mosaics can be made by carefully
placing one
piece of paper
at a time,
in this class
you’ll
learn the trick
of making sheets
of paper tiles
so that you
can work faster
and with better control. Possible
projects are
picture frames,
mirror frames and
other home
décor
items, as well
as artistic
works on wood
supports. Materials
fee of approximately
$45 for pigments,
paste, paper,
laminate film,
support boards
and related supplies. For
all levels.
