If you are purchasing the supply kit YOU DO NOT NEED to purchase paint. e has included an $8 paint fee in the supply kit but if students want to bring their own, they are welcome to. (acrylic paint doesn't need to be expensive brands. Blick, Amsterdam or Liquitex paints work best. You also do not need a lot of paint for printing. Small tubes ( .75 oz tubes) would make the most sense.)
This hands-on drawing and printmaking class will explore the basics of mark-making as it relates to abstract composition. We will use and review the art elements of line, color, shape, form, and space, and utilize them as tools to compose interesting and compelling two-dimensional drawings and prints. To warm up, students will practice some traditional drawing exercises and then move into experimenting with color and texture using mono printing or gelli plate printing. Students will come away with greater confidence in using drawing and printmaking as a part of their sketch process and will leave with work they can revise and expand into their next great quilt compositions.
