About CHS Art
Mike never colored the pictures in coloring books. He just drew his own pictures in the blank spaces inside the covers of said coloring books. Later he was introduced to sketchbooks and blank paper. Also watercolor and oil painting. And later power tools. Mike loves to bring his ridiculous ideas to life on surfaces and spaces he creates from random stuff. Whether that's old cabinet doors, or a shadow box made from scrap wood, or any blank space that can be transformed into vividly colored scenes.
Join us throughout the semester as Mike teaches pop up classes to those interested in exploring crazy mixed-media art endeavors, while learning about what art can be, all while having a blast.
Our Next Pop-Up Class:
To be determined
Mixed Media with 3D emphasis
Our last pop-up class was amazing! Mike hosted a "Super Collage-O-Rama Party!" We created three-dimensional mixed-media artworks that came to life with lights, vivid colors, and fun designs. If you would like to attend a future pop-up class, check back often or like our Facebook page to stay in the loop!
