ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Making Something Beautiful is all about living your art dream. If you ever had ideas or dreams of going off to art school and living the artsy life ~{ MSB} will give you that feel. Our goal is to make this experience for you to be just like stepping into art school for the first time. Even if you are an experienced artist this course will be fun and informational for you too, as well as the opportunity to give you inspiration plus let you give back some helpful advice to the class.
This course will focus on what you would find if you were going to art school. Introduction to various tools of the trade; drawing, painting, color, technique and even art history. Learning about tools, different paints, technique and color are such important aspects to any medium you are drawn to. It’s good to know why things work the way they do and even where they originated from. Having these skills will only enhance where you are in your life of art.
You will receive weekly videos of instruction and assignments. We will offer all kinds of support through the Facebook page, Flickr sights and our one on one help. We will strive to create a very artsy aesthetically pleasing community.
ALL THIS INSTRUCTION WILL LEAD YOU UP TO A FINAL PROJECT TO BE PLACED IN OUR ART SALON TO SELL.
ART SALON: Popularity of the art salon was originated in France beginning in the 1700’s. The salons would exhibit pieces of art from floor to ceiling usually in someones home. Many famous artists got there start participating in an art salon. Cezanne, Picasso, and Matisse just to name a few were very present during the art salon era.
