Details:
Monday: Logan Elm High School art teacher Kelly Montgomery asks you to expect the unexpected with this unconventional drawing workshop to transform a seemingly ordinary magazine page into a work of art with a hidden scene.
Tuesday: Angela Beavers, owner of local business Creative Chaos, will discuss embellishing the blank pages of a journal using sprays, stencils, stamps, inks & more. Choose a themed junk journal & ephemera book with 160+ images & stickers to further decorate & collage your pages to create an artsy one-of-a-kind journal. Your journal book can be used as a diary, junk journal, scrapbook or doodle book. It’s up to you to create & decorate.
Wednesday: Local artist Chris Lockard will share one of her many styles – espresso: it’s not just a drink anymore. Come ready to get a creative caffeine buzz as you learn how to paint with espresso on watercolor paper.
Thursday: Logan Elm Middle School art teacher Rob Griffith and participants will turn an empty paint can into a pinhole camera. We will then learn about and experiment with using this camera to take photos. We will develop the photos in a makeshift dark room.
Friday: You’ve most likely painted on paper, but have you ever painted with paper? In this class, local artist Jana Kent will show you how to take all different types of hand-painted papers and create a one-of-a-kind collage. You are only limited by your imagination.
