Willmar Community Education

I will be bringing EVERYTHING for this class! We will be using paint, sprays, ink, charcoal, pastels, stamps, oils, and collage paper in new and exciting ways. You can make art out of anything and find art in everything. Students are encouraged to bring in their own “found objects” as well to use in their artwork. We will be making homemade paper, a small handmade art journal, and a canvas multimedia painting as well as several other projects. This workshop is perfect for beginners and pros alike. Everyone is welcome. We like to get messy, creative, and make new friends! This is by far our messiest class and my personal favorite! Please be sure to bring a water bottle, snack, and paint shirt or apron. All art supplies are provided and included in the cost. NEW! This year we have SPECIAL Blue Ice Studio Summer Art Paint T-shirts available for purchase at our website. Wear to class and never worry about the mess! T-shirts are required for class, but are a fun addition! Order your shirt at www.blueicestudio.com at least 2 weeks before your class is scheduled and I will bring it to the first day of class!

Spend the week learning how to make your drawings bolder and more interesting. We will experiment with charcoal, chalk pastels and artist’s quality drawing pencils and tools. Expand your art skills by learning new techniques indoors and out! Each student will complete one large final drawing masterpiece of their choice, still life or portrait, on high quality art paper. This workshop is perfect for beginners and pros alike.
