In this Intermediate-to-Advanced-level workshop, attendees take a fresh approach to their work. Each brings a source of inspiration such as a poem, prose, a piece of music, a piece of art (not their own) or a concept that speaks to them intellectually and emotionally. From there they will create a mixed media piece based on that concept, to include their own drawings or water-based painting as well as other elements (such as printed patterns, torn paper, etc.) that lend meaning and visual enrichment. There will be lots of sharing and discussion to help each artist achieve his or her goals. This workshop will be held on June 10th, June 17th, and June 24th.
