Introduction to Mixed Media

This course is designed to explore the possibilities of many different non-traditional 2D art materials in combination with traditional drawing and painting techniques. Materials used include, but are not limited to: various dry media (charcoal, graphite, pastel, colored pencil), wet media (ink, ink washes, water based paints, gauche, watercolor and acrylic), as well as photo transfers and collage. Students will learn to use mixed media as a vehicle for artistic expression. Through class discussions students will engage in, experiment with and critically reflect upon their process and materials used to express themselves.
