THE ART OF THE PERSONAL
@ Carla Sonheim Presents

​

​

This mixed media workshop is for those interested in practicing art as self-disovery and/ or developing your unique artistic voice. Using observations from our daily lives as subject matter, we’ll practice spontaneity, imperfection and surprise in art making. 

 

We’ll explore ways for finding inspiration in your every day life, experiment with found-around-the-house art supplies and other techniques of adding more fun, surprise, and “you” to your work. 

 

The five lessons range from exercises in gathering personal “source material”, creating your own unique visual vocabulary, and integrating text and texture. In the first 3 classes, I’ll encourage making a lot of messy work fast. In lessons 4 and 5, we’ll combine some of those “fast and furious” pages to create 3-5 finished pieces inspired by a time, moment, or thought in your own life.
