*Metal Clay is 99.9% Pure Fine Silver which has been finely ground and
mixed with an organic binder which produces a clay-like material. When
fired, the binder burns away and the silver solidifies. This clay can
be sculpted, carved, stamped, cast, virtually manipulated anyway that
you can work traditional clay. If you have a desire to create beautiful
pieces in silver without the need for a silversmith’s tools or experience.
** “Visual journaling is a creative way to respond to an internal,
very personal situation in traditional sketchbooks, or through
nontraditional works of art that include both text and imagery."
-Michael Bell
Or it can also just be as simple as random images and colors that are
pleasing to look at.
Art Clinic Course description for
after school slot
At the Art Clinic we often hear people complain that they want to make
art but never had any art training, and we hear parents telling us that
they want there sons and daughters to have more art opportunities. We
believe that there are therapeutic benefits from youngsters working with
older students, so long as everyone respects everyone else's time.
These after school classes are designed with this in mind. If you've
been suffering from a lack of artistic self-esteem join one of Art
Clinics after school classes with your budding artist son, daughter,
niece or granddaughter and enjoy the world through different eyes.
These classes are intended for the serious minded art student.
Drawing. At the art clinic we often hear complaints from new patients
about hand eye coordination being out of whack, with symptoms such as an
inability to draw a straight line, or a malfunction of the ability to
“see” live subjects. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you
may want to immerse yourself in an observational drawing course using
techniques that have consistently proven positive results from art
clinics around the globe. This four week class is a basic skills class
for anyone who would like to improve their drawing capabilities. Open
to ages 12- adult.
Watercolor classes. Water is a natural healer; couple that with color
therapy and you are on your way to total artistic rejuvenation.
Watercolor as a medium is very versatile for all personality types from
the very careful to the carefree. This four week course will introduce
students to the healing benefits of watercolor. Come and experience the
soothing waters.
Printmaking without a Press. . Imagine creating an image and then being
able to duplicate it over and over, with either varied of exact results
by hand, not on the computer. This four week class is designed to
introduce patients to the versatile and healing art of multiples.
Printmaking Therapy is a highly recommended remedy in ridding one of
inflamed IMC (I'm Not Creative) syndrome. Students will make relief
prints using found and made objects, learn to carve their own printing
plates as well as other printing possibilities.
