Who is this class suitable for?
Ages 16+
Suitable for complete beginners or anyone just needing a creative ‘jumpstart’ welcome.

What will be covered in the class?
Mixed media is such a broad, all-encompassing topic that it is easy to become overwhelmed before you even start experimenting. During Introduction to Mixed Media, Sarah Hunt will take the mystery out of mixed media and help you get started making art.

This 5 week course is designed to encourage a playful approach to creating images in mixed media, while being guided through elements of colour theory, composition and application. It is perfect for beginners who are looking to build confidence and skills.

The first three weeks you will explore different mark making techniques using a variety of tools and media, working from both your imagination and observational studies. You will build up a folder of resources, which you will use to develop a final piece inspired by an image of your choice. Why not use the Arts Centre’s historic parkland setting as a resource for your studies, gathering natural materials and drawing inspiration from the plant life and buildings which surround our art workshop.
