5 Day Class (9am-4pm)
Tuition: $265 (includes lab fee)
Materials: $25

For those who irresistibly rummage and salvage from curbside piles and attic troves, this class will help release the inner pack rat and explore endless possibilities of making art from all of these special collections of findings. Reviewing the early masters of assemblage, like Picasso and Duchamp, to the current endeavors of Andy Goldsworthy and anonymous folk artists, this class will focus on the editing, re-associating, and constructing process of building sculptural forms within an almost “anything goes” aesthetic. So, yes, one might be tempted to bring along the kitchen sink to this creatively expansive class.

Chris Fischer attended both Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and Tulane University in New Orleans. Chris is currently self-employed as a freelance Artist-Designer, and also teaches children’s drawing classes. His most recent commission was “A Bird’s Eye View of Carrollton” for Whitney Bank in News Orleans, which consisted of eight panels. He exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans in April, 2002 for the “Digital Louisiana” exhibit. In 1997 his “Road over the Levee”, a mixed media painting, was commissioned by the Arts Council of New Orleans through the One Percent Public Art Purchase Program.
