Have you ever seen a Master's work and wanted it for your own? In this project class you can have that Master's work...your way! We will create a Master's piece on canvas with a twist. By using a combined collage and mixed media format you will learn to combine the elements of paint, paper, design and form. This will teach you to create a cohesive flow from your chosen Master's work to an altered Master's work of art you will be proud to call your own. It will be a one of a kind piece that will please you and make your friends marvel.

In this project workshop you will learn color placement, collage design of hard and soft materials, adding paint where required and balance of design movement in your overall final canvas. You will be able to use the techniques you learn in this class for your background papers, altered books or any creative project you may choose.
