Make your own note cards! I have been making my own note cards for the holidays and for special occasions for most of my life. They have gotten better since elementary school, but I still have as much fun doing it. You can make all purpose greeting cards, special event cards, or cards for the holiday of your choosing. I will have printed sheets of sentiments that you can choose from or you can use your own handwriting.
This class is perfect for someone just getting into making art but will also have techniques interesting to an experienced artist. We will explore the repetition of simple shapes using a variety of media including paint, markers and different mark making tools, collage papers and adhesives. You will make your own collage papers with simple gelli plate printing techniques. You can explore composition, color combinations and different materials. I will provide junk mail, old book pages and painted paper (in addition to the papers you will create) that we will use to make repeated shapes exploring different ways to use paper in creating a composition. Then we will finish the master sheet with additional mark making.
After completing the master sheet we will cut it into 4 pieces to make a set of 4 cards. You will use my hand carved stamps to create focal points. The addition of sentiments is optional. We will have the option to stamp the envelopes to coordinate with the cards. All supplies are included.
