In this four-week session learn about the exciting art of pointillism. Pointillism is a fun technique where the artist applies paint on the canvas using dots. Up close these paintings may look like random jumbles of colored dots, but from far away the colors mix together visually. The first two weeks we will explore this scientific phenomenon and make various projects exploring different tools and media using this technique. The last two weeks will be dedicated to making your own acrylic painting masterpiece on a stretched canvas with this technique, utilizing the skills learned.

All materials are supplied. Space is limited to six so please sign up early at Salmon River Fine Arts Center Square Site.

So many possibilities, so little time! This 4-series YAE class will stretch your imagination and your sense of artistic balance as you explore making resin shapes and other techniques to create unique mixed media art. Students will use silicone molds to create an amazing array of polyurethane resin** shapes that can then be painted realistically, whimsically, monochromatically, or any way you prefer. Molds include beach-related, garden, wildlife and other forms. These shapes will be the points of interest for your work and arranged in an interesting composition on 6”x6” ceramic tiles after creating backgrounds on the tiles. Each week a variety of techniques will be explored to create intriguing textures and backgrounds, which may include painting, decoupaging, and embellishing by incorporating trimmings, acrylic skins, small stones, sand, glass tiles, glass beads, gems, and mosaic pieces. Once finished, the resulting layered mixed media tiles can be framed and hung or placed artfully on a table or shelf.

**All necessary safety precautions will be adhered to. VOCs are minimal, gloves are used, and clean-up is easily completed with a small amount of hand sanitizer.

All materials are supplied. Space is limited to six so please sign up early at Salmon River Fine Arts Center Square Site.
