Creating collages is a freeing, fresh way of creating compositions, whether they stand on their own or become sketches for other artwork. Working with recycled, purchased, found and hand-painted papers, students will learn to think outside the box to hone their art-making skills. We will start with the basics: cutting, gluing and exploring the elements of a composition. Demonstrations will be given on ways to select and combine papers and on working in multiples. Students will explore color, line, space, shape, texture and value and will start by creating small postcard-sized collage pieces. At the end of the workshop, participants will have images they can glue into their scrapbooks/sketchbooks. The course is geared to students of all experience levels.
NOTE: There is a $5 per student materials fee.
