DAY 1: Hand Altering Photographs All Levels
Liberate those beautiful
photographs that are stored away on your computer, cell phone, or in a dusty
box! Discover how to hand-alter, distress, and paint inkjet digital and 35mm
photographs so they possess the qualities of both a photograph and fine art. Experiment
with materials including acrylic, watercolour, ink, cold beeswax, and a huge
variety of mixed media ephemera. All supplies will be provided, however,
students are welcome to bring their own photographs if desired.
DAY 2: From Photo to Fine Art: Watercolour, Acrylic and Pastel for Photographs
Learn techniques to print
inkjet images on a variety of fine art watercolour, canvas, and pastel
papers. Develop your fine art skills using watercolour, pastel, and
acrylic media to transform photographs into hand-painted fine art.
DAY 3: Mixed Media Photo Transfer and Printing on Alternative Surfaces
Explore a variety of image
transfer and print methods as you transfer laser and inkjet images onto
alternative surfaces such as wood, glass, mirror, fabric, spun bonded fiber,
tile, metal, clay, and transparencies. You’ll create a three-dimensional
mixed media project which incorporates unique photographs into a shadow box,
canvas painting, collage quilt, or wall hanging.
