I love looking to artists and art styles of the past for inspiration as I explore artistic process, art media application, imagery, and mark making. I've always loved the Weeping Women portraits and still lives created by Pablo Picasso.  In this class we'll use collage, shading, marking making, and all the possibilities of mixed media to create our own mini Picasso inspired portrait artwork.

By the end of this class you'll have:

• Explored the life and art of Pablo Picasso with a focus on his Cubism portraits
• Explored how simply collage can break up the page as well as represent complex objects
• Experimented with adding shading, line, marks, and pattern to bring simply collages to life
• Create an artwork that merges the basics of Cubism with your artistic preferences and art style

This class is intended for art history loving, creatives of all skill levels as we look to artists of the past and present for inspiration in our own artistic journey.
