Graffiti Style Art Book Class
2690 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 19, Studio 206, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $119 - $136
Incorporate the use of your own invented calligraphy of handwriting and symbols using different tools such as brushes, pens, and pencils. Play is a key concept in this workshop.
Create gesture drawings reminiscent of calligraphy, which become images against a background layered with acrylic paint and ink. Words act as pattern, texture, and the effect is a colorful and textural scaled down graffiti. The “writing” is imagery, nonsense or actual text.
Your artwork -- these paintings and prints -- may be cut up and reformatted to become the pages of an artist’s book to be bound using traditional stitching and an exposed spine. Materials list provided upon registration. Open to all levels of experience. Pre-registration is necessary.
