Mixed Media Approaches with Chinedu

In this course, participants will explore a variety of mixed-media approaches to art! Mixed media can unlock a variety of textures, styles, and imaginative avenues. Applying techniques such as perspective, shading, and color theory, participants will have the opportunity to work from reference imagery as well as from life objects, capturing the beauty of the world around them while developing their artistic skills.
