Works on Paper: Nature as a Bridge to Pattern and Decoration
Meena Hasan
Tuition $1,295
Code D1020-26
Working with water-based pigments on paper, students observe natural forms and explore line, mark, repetition and color as ways to bridge into pattern and decoration. The class discovers the combinations of ink, charcoal, acrylic, gouache and Flashe, experimenting with effects achieved by layering and blending these materials. Students are encouraged to not only work from observation, but to explore their imaginations, incorporate images and symbols from their personal histories, and allow colorful forms to emerge. Students should expect to work rigorously, developing a large body of unique works on paper, including stretched paper on canvas, to add to their portfolio.
