Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center

This mixed media art class offers a dynamic and immersive creative journey designed for aspiring artists aged 9 and up. In this 9 week exploration, students will delve into the captivating realm of mixed media, a fusion of various artistic elements that transcends traditional boundaries.

Each week unfolds a new chapter, inviting participants to experiment with diverse materials such as paper, fabric, paint, and found objects. From the expressive storytelling of collages, the sculptural wonders of three-dimensional art, to the introduction of acrylics and watercolors, students will gain hands-on experience in layering, composition, and the harmonious blending of colors and textures. 

Our mixed media class aims not only to develop technical skills but also to inspire individual expression, fostering a love for the limitless possibilities that arise when different artistic mediums converge in a harmonious and visually captivating manner. Join us for a journey of exploration, innovation, and artistic discovery!
