Photography with Mixed Media: Developing a Personal Visual Style
When you want to go beyond seeing your images on a digital display or two-dimensional print, consider adding mixed media, where every choice you make in materials, techniques, composition, and color plays a role in the originality and authenticity of your work. Using a variety of creative methods with simple tools — cutting, glueing, embroidery, photo transfer on fabric, letter embroidery, and more — you’ll define and develop your own visual language using mixed media as a tool. This class is open to photographers who have experience with mixed media or are beginners, and is all about experimenting with materials, challenging yourself with new techniques and compositions, and using the power of a good story to create an intimate, unique, and personal mixed media style. You’ll develop your skills through weekly assignments and we’ll analyze together the work of various artists to learn from their choices. A personal style is all about accepting what your hands and mind create.
