Learners will alsoexperiment with a variety of watercolor techniques including wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet, wax-resist, and color blending. 💡 Class Discussions: Our conversations will center around facts about Henri Matisse, learners will also be shown other artworks by Matisse. At the end of the class time, everyone has an opportunity to show your beautiful painting to the class and tell everyone what your favorite part of the painting was. 🎨 Benefits of Mixed Media Art: 🔸 Exploration of different art mediums encourages creative risk-taking. 🔸 Mixing art mediums enhances decision-making skills and boosts self-confidence. 🔸 Learners can develop their unique artistic style. 🔸 Mixed media provides a platform for self-expression. 🔸 Encourages inventive thinking extending beyond the art classroom.
