Third Friday Studio Demos | Workshop Series

Monthly Friday Workshops + Studio Demos for high school students and offered on the Third Fridays on the month in ArtLab from 2:30-5:00pm. FREE to all levels of experience! RSVP to aiammarino@cmcanow.org

• Large-Scale Painted Monotypes | November 19
  Join Alexis to learn about the myriad of approaches to making painted monotype prints. This demo will focus on technique-building for this process by learning how to use a large photo reference to apply both reductive and additive processes with inks and oil paints. This is a very pliable and fun printmaking process that students can apply to their own subject matter to easily create sophisticated, one-of-a-kind prints for their portfolios or for fun!

• Illustrated Journals and Small Mixed Media | December 17
  Come explore various ways to start or enliven your visual journaling habit! We’ll exchange ideas about how to create with a journal or sketchbook on a regular basis and how to INSPIRE this creative habit to support your own projects. This is a great workshop to attend ahead of the winter break and to launch your dreaming, scheming, and creative projects for the new year!

NOTE: Arts@Work is free and open to all students from other area high schools and are encouraged to join: register Community Arts Instructor Alexis Iammarino, aiammarino@cmcanow.org.
