22 Community Education www.ClovisCommunityEd.com | 559.327.2876 COMMUNITY EDUCATION ■ CREATIVE ARTS ART ARTFUL CARDS Enjoy taking time to create cards with hand-made artwork to give to friends and family. We will be using various mediums by which to adorn our “artful cards”. Card project prompts will be inspired by specific art techniques, particular subject matter, or an art style or inspiration artwork. We will be drawing, painting, and/or collaging on pre-made blank cards or postcards (usually these are made from watercolor paper or mixed-media paper). Each card “activity” will also be time for you to have fun with the process of making a “mini-artwork” for the day! All experience levels are welcome, including beginners. Students will supply their own materials - a list will be provided. No class meeting 9/2, 11/11, 11/25.

Using various types of art materials, we will take time to explore, practice, sketch, experiment, and also create projects. We will work with acrylic, gel mediums, collage, other drawing and painting mediums - and maybe even some “everyday” materials! This is a great chance to see the different creative expressions that are possible when combining multiple mediums to make a single artwork. This course is strongly influenced by abstraction, expressionism, and contemporary art, and emphasizes process as well as product (note this is also not a representational- style paint-sip type of course). All levels welcome, including beginners. Bring a sense of discovery! Students will provide their own materials - a list will be provided. The instructor has taught art in museums, art centers, and at the university level, and has a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art. No class meeting 9/2, 11/11, 11/25.
