Wine and Chocolate reception. (Because it does bear repeating)
Day 1 Am Colette
All hostages will create an aged rose icon on a canvas sheet support using Colette's original kit consisting of rose tissue imagery, canvas sheeting, crackle medium. Coordinating tags will be created with each kit. Also we will learn to use a special edging techniques that works to eliminate the need for frames.
(project will dry over night)
Day 1 Pm Lisa
Lisa will walk everyone through the paintover process- we will produce up to 3 paintovers on paper inbetween laughs and joke telling and trips to the bathroom.
(note: coffee will be served all day and wine (of course) will always be available - er, even for the students!!).
DAY 2 MORNING: Colette and Lisa will be pied pipers and lead everyone into town to paw, pilfer, gather and forage for images and misc. from local Italian sites and Cathedrals for additional class projects. As we go, Lisa and Colette will provide tips for collecting artwork possibilities to be used now and later on.
DAY 2PM Lisa will divulge her top secret techniques and methods of image reproduction and copying used in preparation for paintover painting and play. You will learn what is "OK" to use in your art without asking permission and what might be questionable-- and how to get permission or how to get around asking. Then, we will do more paintovers! using our found and or manipulated imagery.
Also that day, we will take headshots of each other to use on the last (supper, i mean) day, Finale Sainted project.
Colette: Students will finish the last step in the aging process to create authentic crumbling samples. The Rose Canvas project.
Day 3 AM: Taking some of the finished paintovers from Lisa class (Day 1) We'll decoupage canvas board as first element in this mixed media work. We will explore various texturing compounds and learn by adding colors using untraditional methods. And here is where more wine comes in.
LISA: Yes, let's bring in the wine...
Day 3 PM WINE TASTING *hic* Providing we're not all hammered beyond repair, we will explore art through inebriation, Lisa will use headshots for the base of - you guessed it - more paintovers!!!! and to use in Colette's Day 5 Awesome Icon project.
Day 4
Play day trip around Florence. Utterances to the blessed mother will be heard for those nursing epic hangovers. But, that won't be you babe.
Day 5 AM and PM Colette and Lisa together:
Cathedral images, found and manipulated imagery and /or headshots from Lisa's classes will be worked up with joint compound, stains and wax in Colette's awesome icon project!
You might just find yourself sainted!
