Courses have been designed to cover simple techniques that provide impressive feedback to participants. No special art skills, or equipment is needed, so that techniques that are learned can be continued and built upon at home.
Mixed-media and computer generated art, workshop
(2 days)
Discover how your computer, scanner, printer and image editing software can turn your Photographs, doodles, found images, text, paint textures, etc. into beautiful travel journals or memory books. You will then print and compile your favorite completed pages into a memory album that can be continued at home!
[please note: you need basic computer skills and a laptop for this course. If you cannot bring a laptop we can provide one for an additional charge.]
Faculty Information:
Pauline Agnew is a graduate of the National College of Art and Design (1994) Dublin, and the Dublin Institute of Technology (1998), where she obtained a Degree in Fine Art, and a Masters in Multimedia, respectively. A practicing mixed-media artist and art teacher, she has exhibited her work in Ireland and Europe. "My teaching style is firmly rooted in the knowledge that the act of creating helps us to feel more alive. It is also a delightful outlet for play, a break from the seriousness of life. Enabling creative energies to emerge is something I love doing. I get great pleasure from the sense of achievement that my students feel when they have created something that they felt was beyond their capabilities, or hadn't previously imagined." Pauline Agnew
