Aerosol Art Workshop with Clover

Saturday, September 15, 2018 | 10am to 2pm

Fee: Free for Youth / $10 Adults

Instructor: Clover

The Aerosol Art Workshop focuses on teaching participants of all levels and ages how to create artwork using aerosol paint and other painting tools used in creating aerosol based art such as paint markers, color pencils, sharpies, stencils, and stickers.

Participants who attend the Aerosol Art Workshop will develop their work by sketching out ideas at the beginning of the workshop. A quick critique of the sketches precedes the participants gathering outdoors to create and paint colorful works of art.

Participants are able to create these colorful artworks SHG by learning how to conceptualize designs, composition and the use of space from a squared canvas to irregular shapes such as a found street objects. Participants also learn color design by mixing and matching color palettes, blending colors for the design but also balancing the design with its immediate surrounding landscape.

All materials provided by Self Help Graphics & Art.
