  Alisa Burke 9:00 - 4:30    

Student Level: Beginner to Advanced
Type of Workshop: Process and Project

 

There is nothing more energizing and liberating than working big and this class will introduce you to working larger than life with canvas and paint.  Forget about being confined by the size of your surface and start embracing what it feels like to get inside of your paintings.  We will experiment with working on the floor to the wall to reaching, crawling and stretching around our large canvas to get up close and personal with the creative process.  You will learn a variety of messy and beautiful painting and collage techniques to use on a large surface.  Alisa will share a number of useful exercises for creating a large composition - from free writing to using graffiti to finding your artistic voice, be prepared to go big!!!
