You will learn how to:
• Use different mediums in your art-making such as acrylic inks/paints, spray paints and papers.
• Build a background in layers using lots of juicy inks and paint, acrylic sprays and pens, pencils, stencils, handmade stamps, colorful collaging and natural objects
• Use a wide range of unconventional tools such as sticks, leaves, bubble wrap, drywall tape, scratching tools and corrugated cardboard to create dynamic textures and patterns
