IslandWood Artist - Lendon Noe

MAKING A PERSON CONNECTION WITH PLACE - Lendon Noe

We travel to renew ourselves, to be surprised and amazed. But often we come home with only a blur of memories. The process used in this class is designed to help you focus on where you are and to connect this beautiful setting to your personal history. This can be translated to anywhere you travel.

We will spend time exploring this site, taking cellphone pictures and making rubbings to use in collages, drawings and watercolor washes. This connection will yield some remarkable results that will emphasize value, texture and keeping color to a minimum. You will come away with a series of surprisingly meaningful mixed media pieces in a portable paper pocket.
