The Creative Connection

Join renowned folk artist, Laurie Meseroll, as she uses favorite poetry as the departure point to compose lyrical mixed media paintings. In this class, you will implement a variety of techniques to create stylized, non-traditional folk art figures. Laurie will demonstrate, share tips, and processes for blending different elements to create and focus the poetry of a painting for the soul and the eyes. You will enter this class with simple tools, but leave the class with your own personal, poetic, masterpiece. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." Skill Level: This six-hour course is for artists of all skill levels.
