Description

Get creative with this live interactive art class. Join professional artist, Emily Kuenstler for a step-by-step lesson in mixed-media art. We’ll start the class with introductions and prepping of our workspace. Then, we’ll look at examples of mixed-media art, and complete the following exercise:

Lay flat your canvas (cardboard/wood surface/stretched canvas).
Tear up scrap papers of various shades and colors.
Draw a horizontal line for the landscape.
Choose from desert, mountain, or seashore to create a study landscape from your imagination using torn paper.
