Project Description
Painting is usually considered a flat affair, but not anymore! During this residency we will learn to use a variety of mediums and found materials with paint to create unique, textured works of Art. Experience painting like you never have before by exploring paint in the third dimension.
Final Product
Each student will have a diagram of their making showing various colors they mixed and a finished 3D painting on canvas or wood from 4 x 4 inches to 8 x 10 inches.

Meet the Artist
Why I teach art:
“I teach because I have something to share, something I learned from years of Artmaking. Teaching, sharing ideas and methods to help another’s journey, is an important calling for an Artist and one I am happy to answer. I want my passion for Art inspires others.” -Will Paradis
