This class is geared towards teens just starting out with acrylic paint or teens looking for fresh inspiration in regards to material and process. Katherine will lead student on an exploration of multiple acrylic painting techniques with emphasis on colour, composition and experimentation. The class will examine approaches from different artists both local and international, and work on various projects over the 4 days.
On Day 1 we will explore the medium, its components, and strengths and weaknesses. We will apply colour theory and experimentation, and students will go home with at least two “study” paintings.
Day 2 will be reserved for full experimentation. Students will refrain from painting anything “representational” and focus purely on materials. They will be given parameters to guide the creative process and experience a wide range of material combinations.
Day 3 will open with a demonstration on a glazing technique. Students are invited to begin planning a still life or animal portrait using the demonstrated technique which has the potential to take them until the end of the 4th session. Alternatively, students may wish to continue with a process developed in the previous class.
On Day 4 there will be a demonstration of photo transfer and collage techniques. Students can choose to continue with the previous day's work or work on an acrylic-based collage.
