“Wordplay Painting”
with Lynn Whipple
Two-Week Class; 6 Video Lessons
$85
Class Dates: September 15-26, 2015
Hello Hello!!!
A giant, warm welcome to Wordplay Painting.
I am so excited to share with you the many wonders of infusing our artwork with compelling, meaningful and irresistible words!
We will begin our class by finding and preparing a few used books and turning them into what will become our Art Books.
Think of your Art Books as small laboratories for exploration, inspiration and play. There we will use words as inspiration, as graphic elements, as lists, and as the subjects of small paintings and drawings. We will also work, much as a writer might, by considering things such as composition, editing (room for the eye to rest), titles, and character development.
We will explore through prompts poetry and personal handwriting as well as make one larger piece that will combine the techniques we have gathered along the way. Even our book covers will act as canvases!
I look forward to spending time with you and delving into the rich set of possibilities that we will find together when focusing on working with words in our work!
All my best!
with love, Lynn

A NEW CLASS!! WORD PLAY PAINTING!
Lynn: I just love seeing what you are up to. Your ability to play with words and text in your art is inspiring. I loved the idea of word painting and making one word the focus of a page. Book art is so amazing, isn’t it?
I couldn’t resist. I joined this fun class. Always love what Lynn comes up with. I know I will be inspired.
this is going to be so much fun! I love incorporating words into my art 🙂
