Step by step instruction on painting the color wheel. Consider the color wheel to be the control panel for color theory. The class will be 2 hours. You will want to frame your work when completed. You will want to paint it again and again. This “chart of art” will be a great reference for you in all future color decisions. No experience necessary. You will never see color the same way again.

A-35 Tapestry Weaving
Tuesday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 4/10 – 6/5/12 Eight Sessions

Katie Hickey
M.S. Rm. 254

Tapestry weaving is a visual art form that requires only a simple frame loom, a palette of yarn and your imagination. In this class, you will learn the basic techniques of creating a weft-faced weaving, and sample various design motifs - and you will know what that means! You will be inspired by the intricately design rugs of the Navajo, the richly narrative tapestries of medieval Europe, and work of modern tapestry artists. There is a $40 materials fee payable to the instructor, which includes the purchase of a sturdy frame loom and weaving tools (yours to keep) and yarn for our first class project. Bring your own scissors.
