SUMMARY:In Gallery - Dwellings Mixed Media Class
DESCRIPTION:Using the theme of Architecture\, via collage and mixed media\, participants work on a stretched canvas or canvas panel as their substrate. Everyone delves into the fun of using paints\, gel prints\, stamping\, stencils\, integrated with the use of handmade papers printed or painted\, old vintage script or text using coffee or tea to stain. Together through the visuals shown of a variety of types of dwellings each of you will choose the type of structures and composition for your piece. Participants can choose\, abstract high rises using simple basics shapes\, city or townscapes or with staining\, texturing gels make a rustic cabin\, or farm\, etc. There will be lots of ideas exchanged and personalized instruction. \nRegina Thomas’ collage and mixed media art is a mélange of visual stimuli\, colors\, and shapes involving different genres from the representational to the abstract. These multi-layered works portray her view of the world\, never realistic\, injecting her own narratives\, metaphors\, and icons. Regina works instinctually\, and her desire is to stimulate and intrigue the viewer\, make a connection\, bringing their own experiences to the work. \nRegina has lived and traveled throughout Asia and Europe. While in London\, she attended Richmond University concentrating on the Art Disciplines as well as Studio classes. Upon her return to the states she continued refining her art through classes and workshops at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design)\, The New Art Center in Newton – MA\, South Shore Art Center – MA\, West Hartford Art League\, Creative Arts Workshop/New Haven\, CT\, Yale University and The British Art Museum. \nRegina has been included in many juried exhibitions in New England. Thomas shows in private galleries and has private collectors across the U.S.\, Europe\, South America and Asia. Her most recent shows have been at The John Slade Ely House in New Haven\, and The Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook where she also holds classes in collage and mixed media art. \nDates: Wednesdays\, 1/28; 2/4\, 2/11\, 2/18\, 2/25 \nTime: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM \nCost: $160 with a $25 material fee paid to the instructor.
