Hooray for Cake

We've been using cake as a major focal point in our art for over a decade. We love cakes because they're usually synonymous with celebration. In this class we're going to celebrate cake and art. We'll provide lots of our original artwork as a starting point for your own work of cake art. No previous experience is necessary, though we'll have tons of mediums at your disposal. When you think cake, you think recipe. In this course we want to help you find your very own recipe for creating art. Since this class lends itself well to personalization, perhaps you'd like to bring a copy of a treasured family recipe to incorporate into your piece, or a copy of an old photo from a childhood birthday party. We'll have lots of original cake paintings on hand for you to use. You'll be drawing, painting, cutting and pasting, collaging, blending, shading, speckling, doodling, color washing, etc. It's your job to bring a celebratory spirit! In the end, you'll create a piece of artwork that uses some or all of the techniques taught during the class. Each student will leave with a ready-to-hang canvas showcasing her new artistic recipe!
