My Face Book
$145 Dina Wakley
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
We know that Facebook is all the rage, but come to class and make a meaningful art journal Face Book--a book of hand-drawn, unique painted faces. Don’t know how to draw faces? Don’t worry, this class is for you. I will teach you the formulas for how to draw quirky and fun art faces, and we’ll practice them in our “Face Book”--a brand new art journal that you’ll receive in class. We’ll explore several background layering techniques. Then we’ll draw over the backgrounds with the “magic pencil.” Next we’ll paint the faces with unusual and fun colors. Your faces can come from imaginary worlds, be characters in a story, or even represent you! You will come away with many pages done in your Face Book, and lots of mojo and inspiration to continue creating art!
