MIXING IT UP: POP ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Instructor: Rachel Ann Dennis
American Pop art of the '60s is best remembered for its appropriation of mass media and its irreverent attitude towards the traditional use of art materials, thus coining the term "mixed media." Pop artists of then and now see the '50s, a time of idealized American life, as inspiration for their art. Using your own photograph, create a mixed media painting with silk screening, photo transfer, collage and acrylic paint.

Fees: $35 members, $45 non-members. All materials included.
