Last Sunday I taught my first Exploring Acrylic class. It was a small yet friendly class. The project was to create 15 postcard sized paintings in four hours. Students were encouraged to put aside any art fears they had or feelings that they had to create the perfect painting. Instead, they focused on experimental play with glazing, scumbling, masking areas and sponging. My friend Dave Benz took the class and wrote a review. It is posted on his blog: http://www.davidbenz.com/news/2008/03/17
Below is a photo he took of two paintings he created in the class.
The next Child’s Play class is March 23rd. Students will get to experiment with chalk pastels.
