In this class, we will be working to create imaginative abstract floral pieces. We will experiment with collaging papers, gel prints, texture mediums, and acrylic paint to create unique floral masterpieces. Emphasis will be on texture and pattern to create interest. One project will be centered around 100% collage, and the other will be mostly acrylic paint and markers.

The teacher will demonstrate a couple of art pieces/projects, and students may follow along and make similar pieces, or they can explore outside the box to deviate from the projects if they desire.
