Drawing and sketching are the beginnings of everything in art.  Those who say they lack drawing talent or skills should not worry.  Larry's Basic Drawing Class is "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain."  His three class sessions will focus on three effective techniques from the book:  drawing portraits, upside down drawings, and perspective drawings.

Day One - Instruction, Preparation and Small Print:  The instructor will provide a monotype presentation and demonstrate the process.  Students will then select an image of their choice and sketch it to actual size of the Plexiglas.  Your sketch will be reviewed and ideas will be offered for refinement.  You  will learn how to prepare your plate for printing, paint the plate and create your first monotype.

Day Two - The focus will be on exploring a variety of techniques and creating a larger image.

Note:  All experience levels are welcome to attend.  Bring you lunch and expect to have a great time exploring Monotype.

Laurie Szilvagyi, Instructor

" The process of creating a monotype is quite a liberating experience.  A monotype is not a print but an original piece of art that is created by first painting onto a flat surface e.g.  Plexiglas, copper or other hard surface.  This plate image is then pressed onto wet paper.  There are a wide variety of effects that can be created with this process.  I assure you....it will blow your socks off when you pull that first monotype.  You will receive personal insttruction and critique, and you will have an opportunity to create a least two completed works of art!"

This bracelet is made with new type of bead called a magatama which have the shape of a shell with an angled drill hole at one end of the bead.  This unusual shaping allows for an interesting look.  The stitch used to create the bracelet is an old one with a new, Linda Farber twist that even beginning beaders can handle.
A $15.00 kit is available from the instructor at time of class.
