printmaking • action painting
1 week summer camp • 9am-12pm
SUNPRINTS are constructed with found objects and a special paper that reacts to sunlight. A favorite because the results are so quick! Let's get messy with ACTION PAINTING. We'll splatter, drip, drizzle and spray to create kaleidoscopic paintings on wood panels. MONOPRINTS are one of a kind images created by painting on a plastic plate, applying damp paper and rubbing. The results are always fun and surprising. NATURE PRINTS use plants from my garden with a little help from the hammer! All activities are done on the outside art deck.
