Mental Adventure Art Workshop
TOP RATED
Arts & DIY
Join artist Simon Gallo for an exploration of mixed media art that finds its place in the nonsensical and the amusing. Allow your imagination to roam free while you deconstruct your favorite cartoon / comic characters and creatures into surreal inventions.
In this class, we will experiment with various materials including: comic books, watercolor, ink, and acrylic. Simple image transfer techniques and the basics of composition will be covered. Leave class with an original work on wood and the knowledge and ideas to continue your mental adventure.
All ages welcome
