Assemblage is a three-dimensional art form initiated by artists of the early Twentieth Century. In this course, we will use an assortment of art materials including found objects to create small-scale 3D art pieces. The focus will be on using the creative process to explore individual issues of anxiety, self-doubt, and artist's block. The goal is to build confidence in one's art practice. 

Please bring any small materials found that you want to use to create. Otherwise, materials are provided by The Drawing Studio. 

The idea of Sumi-e is the Art of Leaving Out.  The aim to simplify a subject to it's basic Essence. There is an honoring of the viewer"s own imagination by stripping away all but the most essential spirit of a subject.

My class isn’t designed around having everyone paint the same subject. Each student is in a different place creatively, so I work with them individually, meeting them where they are in the moment. In the final 30 minutes of class, we come together to share our work and practice offering thoughtful, constructive critiques. The focus is always on positive, meaningful feedback. As a result, students become more confident and relaxed about their work. They learn to articulate their intentions clearly and develop a stronger sense of when a painting feels complete.

Materials not provided. Please bring the following:

acrylic paints

paper towels

canvases and/or watercolor paper
