Cost: $125 for members $135 for non-members Join mixed media artist, Dana Finimore, July 9th and 10th, for a weekend of creative fun in the art cottage at the Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs, MS. This exciting course addresses creative ways of depicting nature by utilizing a more expressive approach. Drawing from a variety of materials and techniques such as studio demonstrations, discussions, and on-site explorations, students will learn to become more responsive in their own work by learning to listen to their creative intuition. This class looks at nature and landscape from a more responsive point of view, versus laboring over an ultra-realistic rendering of the subject. Various approaches you may take include unique combinations of collage, drawing, painting, and Mixed media. There will also be discussion on structuring of composition, how color can affect meaning and abstract expressionism. Open to all skill levels. All Materials and supplies are provided. Students may wish to bring extra paper, brushes, or their own favorite personal supplies.
