Face Extension Printmaking With Marvin Pauls
An event every day that begins at 4:00 pm, repeating until August 17, 2023
FACE EXTENSION PRINTMAKING
In this 3-day workshop you will create a most unusual self-portrait, and turn it into a relief print using recycled materials and experiment with the printed image to add expressive variety. What could be better than that?!
In the first class we will draw an extension of our faces on paper, turn the lines into shapes, then turn the shapes into a relief plate for printmaking using recycled materials.
The next two classes will be devoted to printing your self-portrait in various ways. First is working to get a clean print. Then some guided mixed media exploration including mixing ink colors, unusual papers and collage. Also you will learn about accurately labeling and signing prints.
Students need to bring:
DAY ONE: pencil, eraser, scissors, gloves (disposables are fine), Elmer’s glue
DAYS TWO AND THREE: Glue stick, colored paper (old cheap construction paper is fine), other random cool papers lying around, various colored pencils, markers, pastels, oil pastels, and several magazines to cut up if you have any.
Optional: If you have a brayer or a baren that would be helpful to bring.
Materials supplied: recycled printer paper for multiple drawings, white soft pastel, inner tube, scrap mat board, acrylic gel varnish, various brushes, ink, brayers, palette knives, baren, and some various papers.
Students get 10% off class supplies, or 15% off for an amazing celebrity impression!
Class will be three consecutive days:
Tuesday 8/15 – Thursday 8/17 4-6pm
