This class was to expose student artists to various processes, techniques and methods related to painting, mark making, mixed media, and collage. Students explored and responded aesthetically upon their own personal experiences in social and environmental issues. A variety of mediums were used and combined to create art that challenged form and content. Some challenges: using found objects, assemblage art, paper as paint and pen, creating texture with gel mediums, dying watercolor paper, affixing wax, and resin
