I get super motivated by taking classes. I dive in and try to learn as much as I can. I must confess, I even pre-learn, research and test out techniques before class even starts.
This year I took a ModernMarbling class, with CynthiaMcGuirl.
Then I enjoyed a Japanese woodblock printing class this with artist and teacher Lisa Houck.
A dropped in on a couple of figure drawing sessions at Essex Art Center.
And most recently, I participated in the online class Translating Landscapes, with Antia Lehmann.
Sometimes that the prints that I make in these classes just get filed away or tossed durning my next purging session. But the process is what I keep.
The process of:
- developing dynamic images
- learning to think differently
- fix problems/mistakes in new ways
- identifying my strengths and interests
I hope to bring those ideas and more back to my own practice.
So as the most recently landscape class ends I played with new tools and the gelatin plate to make some abstract landscapes. I am pretty pleased.
If you are like me and need an art class for the coming year, then check out the online printmaking class, Make Monotypes.
We explore printing with inks on paper using the gelatin and glycerin plate.
