2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

This course focuses on innovative ways of producing and incorporating monoprints and collage into a mixed media painting. Monoprinting, acrylic paint skins, collage modules (preassembled "collaged groupings"), image transfer and subtractive painting techniques will be explored. Monoprinting is a method of creating a one-of-a-kind print that uses a flat surface of a plastic plate where the ink is put on (additive) or removed (subtractive) to produce a range of tones and visual effects. Subtractive or negative painting techniques help to define form and strengthen composition by selectively removing or painting over part of the background. Course will also include presentations and hands-on demonstrations. Generating ideas from combining these techniques will help students push through many of the road blocks related to content and execution in mixed media painting.
