Summer Art Camp: Mixed Media Painting

Beginning with a chosen photo, instructor Laurel Geis will teach students image transfer techniques and develop the work with collage and drawing elements using mixed materials. Develop skills in materials, color, composition and drawing while you learn new techniques and stretch your creativity. Plan to attend all three classes in order to allow drying time and to complete a finished work.

Students should bring an inkjet print of their chosen photo/image to the first class, or email it nuveen@artswhitelake.org before July 28.

About the Instructor:

Laurel Geis has lived in the White Lake area for 27 years. She taught Art in public schools for 30 years before retiring. She is an active artist, working primarily in painting and drawing, and her work has been widely exhibited in sites like the Muskegon Museum of Art and the White River Gallery. Her work frequently includes landscape or environmental themes.

COVID-19 Considerations:

Classes will be held outdoors - weather permitting - under a tent with 6 feet between tables. Students will be seated on either ends of the tables - 6 feet apart. If class has to be held inside, we will make sure students can be six feet apart. Class capacity will be limited to 6 students. Each student will have their own supplies that will be sanitized before class. Students should wear masks and abide by social distancing mandates.

Summer Art Camps are supported by an anonymous donor and grants from the Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.
