Media Art in the Classroom

Tamare Laporte is a mixed media artist, illustrator and online art teacher who loves being messy and is addicted to layering paint. Her work can be described as mixed media folk art.

Tam's art ranges from cute children's illustrations to a more stylized fantasy type art. Her art often incorporates healing themes, uplifting messages and inspirational poetry. She is also a prolific art journal-er and creates stuffed toys and art dolls when she has the time! Recently, digital creations have been calling her and she's loving creating paintings in Photoshop as well. She is based in Brighton in the UK with her lovely husband Andy and her magical child Dylan. She's been teaching online art workshops since 2008.

 I find it interesting how artists find ways of integrating the use of the internet within their field of work.  It makes me wonder what type of audience they capture since not all people have such a tech collaborative lifestyle.
