In future Art Lab sessions we will play with a variety of media and genres including: doodling, drawing, collage, assemblage, and water color.
Let’s Doodle!
In November we will get warmed up with a little doodling and the concept of lyrical abstraction. Participants are encouraged to doodle and explore the art of drawing in a spontaneous, abstract or minimally representational way.
Art Lab will be about making art as well as the different ways we experience art and how it affects us. We will explore both the process and the product of the art we create. We will integrate movement and playful sharing into our art making experience sharing insights, joys and concerns.
These hands on workshops are for both novices and experienced artists. You are invited to come to one, some or all of the workshops as the spirit moves you. All are welcome.
Suggested Materials*:
*any materials and supplies you may already have will work just as well for this project; the materials suggested below are just some of my favorites.
Art Lab will be offered monthly on Thursdays from 5:30 – 7:00pm ET.
Participants are encouraged to drop-in for any session – new themes and projects will be introduced each month.
This hands-on workshop series is for novices and experienced artists.
