Come learn the basics of airbrushing while exploring your own understandings of language and its usage. Learn how creative writing and visual art can be used together to tell powerful stories with instructor Dylan Smeak. Students will first be led in engaging exercises to craft original poems, then in the basics of airbrushing, in order to create a work that is inspired by the writing. You'll discover how each medium can elevate the other, creating a truly compelling and multi-layered artistic expression.
As both a visual artist and writer, instructor Dylan Smeak is uniquely skilled in bringing these two art forms together. This one-of-a-kind class will explore their relationship and inspire you to transform both your visual and literary artistry.
Imagine a vibrant airbrushed landscape that hints at a hidden sorrow, accompanied by a poem that eloquently articulates that very feeling. Or perhaps a portrait that captures a fleeting expression, amplified by verses that delve into the subject's inner world. You’ll be challenged to consider the unsaid, the unseen, and the emotional depths that a painting alone might not convey.
Much like the hazy effect produced by the airbrush, this course will explore the hazy area where words become symbols.
