Personal Archetypes Mixed Media Workshop

Thursdays June 5th, 12th and 19th

1-4 pm

San Antonio Tlayacapan

My intention  for this class is to lift my students up, give them clarity about why they are here, inspire them, support their creativity and enhance their skills. As always the class will be joyous, non-competitive and life enhancing.

This is a 3 week workshop instead of the usual 2 week. 

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung described an archetype as "an inherited pattern of thought or symbolic imagery derived from the past collective experience and present in the individual unconscious."

Caroline Moss, who is one of today's leading experts on archetypes says "Knowing your archetypal patterns is the beginning of understanding why you are who you are." These are not stereotypes. They are a more complicated look at humankind.

In this workshop you will take a fun little test to discover your most prominent archetypes. You will learn more about therm and then will create one or more Mixed Media pieces representing one or more of your archetypes.

You will learn how to transfer your archetype from a photo into a line drawing. You will add colors, collage and symbols that are meaningful to you. 

And of course, as always, there will be a fabulous goody bag with art supplies. Sign up soon. Class size is limited to just 6 students.

3 day workshop, including a goody bag  1500 Mexican Pesos

 

 

Collage For Mixed Media, Thursdays April 24th and May 1st

 

In Person Workshop
San Antonio Tlayacapan

filled

I began making collages my freshman year in college... a very very long time ago. After working as a professional photographer for 30 years and then at Apple as a Creative Trainer, I moved to Mexico. I have been in Mexico for nearly 8 years and in that time took painting classes. Eventually I found my voice with Mixed Media. A large part of my pieces are a combination of painting and collage.

Would you like to learn how I use Collage in Mixed Media and how I make my own Collage papers?

I am giving another in person two day workshop on Thursdays April 24th and May 1st, 1:00pm - 4:00pm. All materials are provided, including canvases, paint, collage papers, glue, scissors. Wait until you see the students' goody bag!
