Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

a color. I fade into the background, where no one can see. Once, an artist had an exhibition of white paintings. People came to view, White on White, the finite variations on a theme. If they come to see, they see the sun-splintered glint of triumph in the prince’s eyes because he thinks he will possess me; they see the white rage from the queen’s pores. The milky white fills each glass heart when they imagine me because they do imagine me, the texture and heavy winter breath those white paintings had. Niveous, I am, albescent, the whitewash, the bleach, to make allowances for my own ordinary face. I think about this, in the wet exhalation of morning, the dewy down bed of lost leaves. I think of this in the woods when I watch the spiders do their work, on webs white as me, their silken spiral configurations, perfect, and I think about this: if I had a name, what it would it be?

Student Monotype Transfer Prints

Etching—Beginning Ages 13 & Up Etching, or more accurately, Intaglio, is one of the most versatile forms of printmaking. Through use of techniques employed by such artists as Rembrandt and Goya, design images that are painterly or precise. Intaglio involves incising a drawing or design into a copper plate using tools and etchants and then printing onto paper through use of a press. This term, learn the fundamental techniques of drypoint, line etching and aquatint. Traditional and non-toxic techniques will be explored. Price includes a $35 studio and materials fee which is non-refundable after class begins. Get materials list online.

1011945 Tu. 10 am - 1 pm Sep. 30 - Dec. 2 $278 [9 classes] Nicole Rawlins Monotype More Methods—Plus Studio Ages 13 & Up Called the painterly print, monotype is a single impression created by applying ink to a plexi plate and transferring the image to paper with a press. Explore trace, reductive, additive and viscosity approaches to monotype, as well as mark-making and chine collé techniques. Students cannot miss first class. Price includes a materials and studio fee which is non-refundable after class begins. Get additional needed materials list online.

Also known as Trace Monotype, this method was originally developed

by Paul Gaugin, through his experimentation with line and texture. Paper is laid on top of an inked plexiglass plate. The artist then draws on the back of the paper, using different mark-making tools and varying degrees of pressure. When the paper is peeled back, the ‘positive’ image is revealed. A ‘negative’ image remains on the plexiglass, which is then run through a press. The plate can be re-inked and printed a number of times, allowing for variation on the original image.
