Textured Art Totems Workshop with Mike Lafata

In this workshop, learn new ways of seeing and modifying materials—new or found—to create dimensional textural in your art on fun and unique totem-size panels that are tall and skinny!
In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• build dimension from found objects
• incorporate fabric and handmade papers
• tame and simplify texture
• use a limited palette of colors
• create depth and interest with mark making
• create a rich, textural piece of art

We will be using a tall and skinny wood panel also known as an art totem! They're an attention-getter that can be hung almost anywhere at home.
Students will walk away with a finished, one-of-a-kind totem with lots of texture and visual interest, as well as a new understanding of what makes up the Minimalism art style.
