Learn to let loose, let go, and just make through the painterly medium of monotype! Explore the limitless possibilities of oil-based and water-based monotype, drypoint monoprint, and screenprint monotype through experimentation and spontaneous creation. Learn to break out of rigid thinking and just play with the materials with no judgment, no prerequisite skills, and no pressure. Work back into prints in mixed media techniques to expand the scope for abstraction and expression. Content includes technical advice from an artist-instructor ideally skilled in a variety of media, as well as critiques to expand your creative boundaries. Class time prioritizes access to the printing facilities, and students will be encouraged to continue developing their prints with the media of their choice outside of class. This class is perfect for painters/draftspeople seeking to expand their processes, printmakers seeking to employ painterly and mixed media techniques, and anyone with love of color and experimentation. Tuition includes a $20 lab fee.
