My Fall class at the AAC

My fall Tuesday night class at the Arlington Arts Center will start on October 25 (enrollment will probably open in early September), and here's what the theme of the class will be: ART BOOKS Book artists have a history of altering books, in addition to creating new book art. In this class, we will take inspiration from existing books and use them as canvases to create entirely new works of art. Although we will spend some time making books, the emphasis of the class will be on filling these books with our own mixed media art. Participants will be encouraged to see these works as opportunities for personal exploration and expression, trying new techniques (or using favorites).

Summer teen art camp

I am in the middle of a week-long summer art camp for young teens (11- to 14-year-olds) at the Arlington Arts Center. My class is big. Huge! 15 kids, which makes it hard for me to get around to everyone as often as I'd like, and yet they are doing some wonderful things. They've made handmade stamps from foam and printed mottos, sayings, or just words. They've made a square stamp and tried making a repeat motif. These were used to make covers for hardbound books. And then they've made grid collages ... still to come is rubber stamp carving and scratch foam relief printing.
