Start the new year off with a breath of fresh air, a spontaneous spirit, and beautiful expression! Access your inner poet and let your marks and lines flow! Based upon ideas let loose by the Dadaists, we’ll use colorful felt tips to ease our way into finding poetry in random pages of text, while also practicing basic drawing techniques. We’ll finish by treating a printed page imaginatively with colored pencils and ballpoint pens, inspired by the work of Tom Phillips and others. Many skills to learn in one fun session!
