Making art is one of the most powerful ways to use your voice and inspire others. If you've always felt passionate about certain causes but have been unsure about how that could translate into a visual piece, this class gives you a path to follow and an impressive tool kit of techniques. Artist, author, illustrator, and teacher Maria Carluccio guides you through the creation of two kinds of inspirational art posters, one in watercolor and one in collage, from ideation to finished artwork. Begin by making a mind map to refine your themes and ideas. If you choose to work in watercolor, Maria will take you through your initial sketch, then how to use a light table while painting, plan your color palette, and add graphite, colored pencils, and gel pens for detail. If you choose to work in collage, you'll make your own collage paper, learn Maria's process of making a paper frame as a guide, and use magazine cut outs, washi tape, stickers, and ephemera in imaginative ways. No matter what themes you choose or materials you work with, you'll be sure to create an inspirational poster you can proudly to share.
