Mixed-Media: Drawing, Painting, and More [F-22-18]

The class will explore a wide variety of mixed media techniques, including drawing, painting, photographing, journaling and collage. We will explore the works of the 19th century artists who combined drawing and color washes to quickly capture a moment in time and how modern artists combine painting with markings, collage, fiber and ephemera. Then we will try different techniques as a group and create individual projects. No experience is necessary. The course will encourage group interaction and sharing of ideas.

Sandra Nestlerode-Hale is a working artist and has lectured on Art in England, Maine, and Pennsylvania. She has a Masters degrees from Keele University in England.
