Doodling & Tangling: Artist Trading Cards With...

Classes

Posted: Jun 05, 2019

We’ve all made marks on paper, walls and other surfaces since we could hold a fat crayon. We’ve doodled during phone conversations, lectures, and staff meetings – and making dashes, curves and lines are not something newly invented. Whether or not our doodling or tangling is mindful or not, this mark making is relaxing, fun, meditative, and can be very addictive. Saturday June 22, noon to 2:30 pm at Gualala Arts Center. $25-30 plus materials fee. In this workshop we will be using rubber stamps on artist trading cards (ATC) as a way to explore the creative process with doodling and tangling. The focus will be on fun and learning how to enhance your personal mark-making; not on learning a trademarked doodle. You will also learn about ATCs and how to work “mis-takes” into an overall design. Many examples of tangled art will be available to inspire the participant. Doodling & Tangling: Artist Trading Cards With instructor Donnalynn Chase. Saturday, June 22, 2019 from 12-2:30pm. Gualala Arts Center. $25 for GA Members; $30 for Non Members; $7 Materials Fee call 707.884.1138 to sign up by June 15.

August- Impressions: The Art of Printmaking The hand printmaking process attracts artists through the richness and variety offered by a number of techniques- including engraving, lithograph, woodcut, and etching. All prints are original works of art that include one-of-a-kind images (monotypes) or many prints (editions from the same block or plate) with each impression individually inked and transferred to paper. Printmaking has been used historically for educational, religious, political and decorative purposes. Modern printmaking is an open-ended artistic exploration of all of the above techniques and uses, and the sky is the limit. With all those possibilities, what kind of magic can you create on paper?
