If you are in New York City or plan to be there in September, I have an exciting mixed-media workshop that may be of interest to you! Start the weekend off at The Art Students League of New York with a two-day workshop that will get your creative juices flowing.
EXPERIMENTAL PAINTING:
Inspirational Approaches in Mixed Media is a highly visual, hands-on workshop that will investigate exploratory methodologies, techniques and approaches in mixed-media art. Throughout the workshop, many exciting in-depth demonstrations will be shown, providing an extensive array of visually-stimulating possibilities for artists to explore. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional mixed-media techniques will be covered, including employing alternative working grounds, using custom tools, toning the painting surface in imaginative ways, creating a tactile ground, building the visual architecture and utilizing innovative mixed-media techniques to create intriguing effects. To assist artists in their own creative path, topics on nurturing the creative spirit, developing personal content through journalism, embracing a multidisciplinary mindset and creating message-driven art will also be discussed. For artists that are looking to push their work to a new level, this workshop will be a valuable resource and an ongoing source for creative inspiration.
