Hill Country Council for the Arts invites you to join Julie Majek at the AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center.
Mini Workshop
Intro to Acrylic Pour Painting
Just Go With the Flow!
Artist/Instructor: Julie Majek
Saturday, January 25, 2025
10am – 1pm
In this workshop you will learn two different painting techniques, and create two paintings.
The art form of pouring paint onto canvas, also known as fluid art, originated in the 1930s quite by accident. Muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros accidentally spilled different colors of paint on top of each other, and was fascinated by the way they mixed. In the early 2000s, pouring mediums for acrylic paints were developed, and now acrylic pour art has become a global trend, thanks to social media platform.
A Little Bit About Julie Majek
Julie Majek’s artistic journey began in elementary school when she decided she was going to be an artist. Over the years she studied and explored many art styles and mediums including oil painting, watercolor, portraits, photography, stained glass and fiber arts. By the time Majek received a BA, Fine Arts from Trinity University, her work had evolved into large expressionistic works with ethereal fluid qualities. After graduating college she collaborated with interior designers in the San Antonio area and was commissioned to create works of art for specific spaces and clients. Another of Majek’s favorite projects is painting whimsical children’s murals in churches, schools and private homes. She has for the last 40 years nurtured the creative talents of elementary school students as an art educator, and currently teaches private lessons. She recently joined the resident artists field at The HCCArts Classroom at The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center teaching Introductory classes in Expressionism.
Class fee: $85 Non members, discounts with HCCArts membership.
