About this course
Exploring Mixed Media is an introduction to different ways of creating drawn and painted images and will give you the opportunity to explore a range of experimental mixed media techniques including collage, pen and inks, frottage, typographic printing, and painting and stenciling. During the course we will be focusing on using these techniques in a range of ways to build up fragmented or abstracted compositions. We will be working both in black and white and colour and the key approach to media will be experimentation!
Some experience of drawing and painting is useful, but not essential as each week we will explore a different process (or processes in combination). It will be fun! You will learn about how you can use these media and techniques creatively through looking at and discussing other artists and designers' work and by demonstrations, personal experimentation and individual tuition.
By the end of the course, everyone will have explored and gained confidence in a range of experimental, creative techniques, produced some effective developmental images and gained skills for future art and design work.
By the end of the course, you will be able to: -
Discuss how other artists and designers have used experimental techniques in their work to explore ideas
Experiment successfully with text and printmaking techniques to explore ideas
Use painting and stenciling techniques to explore colour, mark making, layering, and composition
Experiment with a range of mixed media confidently to produce images
Use vocational language confidently to explain your own work
