Discover a playful process to unleash and expand your creativity through the creation of portraits
Mixed media artist Hanoch Piven believes art and play are two concepts that go hand-in-hand towards demystifying the idea that only a select few can be real artists. Piven's playful portraits have appeared in Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic Monthly, The Times and Entertainment Weekly, among other publications.
Throughout this course, you will use everyday objects to create 3D collages in order to unleash your creativity and allow you to express yourself visually. Join Piven on this journey to create a fresh new way of seeing, and become the artist you've always been.

Who is this online course for?
This course is aimed at anyone who wants to enter a space that encourages you to see, feel, think and behave differently. This will allow you to come up with new ways of seeing, creating, educating and being.
Any aspiring creative who wants to loosen up will find the spark they need in this course, as well as art educators and teachers in general who want to discover alternative ways of sharing content in the classroom.
Requirements and materials
Previous ability or artistic knowledge not necessary. You only need the motivation to play and use this process to discover new ideas around you and within yourself.
You'll need a box of reused small objects, some Blu-Tack, and the greatest tool for creating 3-dimensional collages: a simple hot glue gun.

Cours très intéressant. Ravie d'avoir découvert cet artiste et son travail ! Il est étonnant de voir comment avec seulement quelques objets de récupération, on peut créer une oeuvre, un portrait très parlant. La partie sur les émotions est aussi très ludique et invite à essayer ce genre d'exercice notamment avec les enfants.

Processus de création bien détaillé. Dommage qu'il s'agisse beaucoup d'utilisation du plastique et surtout rien sur les techniques : colles, ustensiles, encadrement
