MULTIPLE DAY WORKSHOPS
Texture-Color-Feeling with Jan Sitts
Registration begins August 1, 2013
Workshop dates: October 23, 24 and 25, 2013
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Unitarian Universalist Church Goddard Hall 4831 East 22nd Street, Tucson
The workshop will focus on using layers and textures to create spontaneous multimedia art. The process of building up a surface on a support by texturing, layering papers, and painting will be demonstrated and encouraged. As the each participant's work develops, it will be discussed and evaluated. In Jan's words "Experimental art is exploring and discovering more creative ways of expression, and keeping traditional rules of painting out of the picture." This workshop promises to be fun, creative and thought provoking.
CASA members have priority. There will be room for 18 participants, with a waiting list, if necessary. The fee for members is $240. You must be a member for at least 30 days to qualify for member rate. Fee for non-members is $275.
