DESCRIPTION OF LESSONS
WARM UP
We will use everyday objects from our lives that you can find around the house or in a magazine (i.e. flowers, plants, jewelry, shoes, kitchen utensils) whatever you can think of. Once we have chosen a few items to work with we will get to work focusing on what is in front of us by drawing it in the style of Contour Drawing. This is a chance for us to leave perfection behind. Instead we are trying to loosen up and quiet the critical thinker that we all have inside.
LESSON 1
In the first main lesson, we will focus on capturing the details of butterfly wings. We are looking for realism here. I will teach you how to grid out the wings so that you can recreate what it is that you are seeing. What you learn in this class may also be used in the main lesson.
LESSON 2
The second lesson is really all about our relationship with paper, patterns, color and texture. Example; I have had a love affair with all different kinds of paper most of my life. However, I find myself always drawn back to old, yellowed with time, book pages and handwritten letters. I can’t get enough! The feel, the weight, the smell… all of it! So, I thought it would be fun to explore this together as well. We are also going to learn how to create and add patterns to your work, as well as, play with color and texture combinations with our lovely papers.
LESSON 3 - A PATCHWORK FAIRY
Lesson 3 is a culmination of all the techniques you have learned from the previous lessons. You will be creating your very own Patchwork Fairy! We’ve played with color and texture with the whimsical mixed media landscape lesson, tapped into our inner child with the contour lesson and used our focus to create the beautiful butterfly wings. All of those lessons were strategically planned to prepare you for this lesson. Take what you have learned from this course and apply it in your own and unique way. Just remember, above all, it’s all about having fun, loosening up on the “rules” and pushing ourselves to think outside of the box.
FINAL LESSON - BUTTONS
In this final lesson I will teach you how to make Shrinky Dink buttons! How fun is this!! We are going back to being 10 years old again!! YES PLEASE!! We will use paper, stamps and paint pens to create these fun little treasures!! The skies the limit really. The coolest part is that they can also be used as a 3Dimensional piece for the main lesson.
