Angels and Demons
Monday 9-4pm
Good Guys versus Bad Guys…yep that’s what this class is all about. You’ll have to decide which side of this epic battle for the dominion of…sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes. Actually, what this class is about is playing with busted toys and reinventing them. What could be more fun? Gather up those Barbies, GI Joes, or wedding figurines, because were going to dismantle them and reassemble with a variety of found objects into rather non-traditional angels and demons. In this class you will learn a variety of processes involving assemblage, and collage as well as an extensive amount of painting techniques. Now the big question…will you create a friend or a fiend?
Supply List

Barbies, action figures, trophies figures, or other figurines that you are willing to dismantle
Variety of other found objects that might be interesting additions to angels or demons. Items like watch parts, gears, typewriter parts….just about anything, really. Look for things that are interesting shapes or designs.
More recommendations for found objects: Don’t forget the wings, the halos, the horns and the tails…if you’re going this more literal direction, bring objects that might relate. For instance, I often use watch gears as halos or fan blades as wing. The sky is the limit really.
