Create colorful “paintings” from torn paper. We will spent the first couple of days making acrylic mono-prints together to create a palette of paper for our collages. Time permitting, we will marble paper as well. Using our hand printed paper, paper from last year's class, maps, and old books, we will create collage paintings. Expect to get messy in this class.
Calacas! Mexican folk art inspired by Dia de Los Muertos - A calaca is a figure of a skeleton commonly used for decoration during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. These figures are fun, not scary, and are often humorous in hopes that the viewer might develope a light-hearted attitude about the inevitability of death. In this class we will explore the use of skeleton imagery in Mexican culture and make multiple calacas for your home.Class Description
