Creating Intuitively in Mixed Media with Amy J Dyck
March 20, 2021
Description
When: March 20th @ 11am PST (1.5hr)
Creating Intuitively in Mixed Media
Join BC Artist Amy J Dyck for an exploration of expressing ideas and creating intuitively in mixed media in this virtual demo. Amy will show how she works intuitively and experimentally, using collage and mixed media elements, to create a figurative art piece expressing an idea or feeling. Starting with a short slideshow to illustrate Amy’s current art making process that she uses to make art that feels meaningful and exploratory even after years of high realism, she will then move to the live artmaking portion of this demonstration. Attendees will be inspired by Amy’s ability to create an exploratory creative space that is more about possibilities and curiosity than rules. The collage elements used in this demo will be, at least mostly, images of parts of the human body, like hands or faces or legs. Amy will then integrate these images with different artistic mediums and explore various ideas using the benefits of plastic sheets and dry erase markers. Perfect for creative individuals looking to explore new ways of creating, those experiencing creative block, or anyone excited to see a fantastic Canadian artist at work!
