In this class we will focus on creating one composition that we will repeat in four different mediums; illustration, stitching, lino print, and sculptural collage. The aim of this class is to focus on different processes and see how that could affect the type of image that we started with. By using the same image for all four iterations, we can place them side by side to see the differences in stark contrast. Play with different mediums and possibly learn something new, all while creating four thought provoking works of art that can be displayed together or separately. A $10 fee to the instructor will cover all materials. 6 sessions.
