Add Some Imagination to Your Art
Date and Time: October 6, 9 am-4 pm
Registration deadline: October 6, 9am
This workshop is for the adventurous artist who wants to try something different. You will start off with an ordinary painting, then add ideas to it that will change the meaning and impact of the work. The idea is to exercise the creative muscles that we all have by going beyond the ordinary to work that exhibits greater imagination. The day will start with a slide talk about art and artists who have stretched their own creative muscles.
Bring ideas, pictures, objects, etc. that you want to paint and add to your initial painting.
Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting paint stained. Bring a bag lunch and plenty of liquids.
