Fun with Collage!February 28, 5 - 8 pm
Instructor: Bryan Thomas
Skill Level: Beginner - Intermediate Fee: $50 (materials included) In this workshop, students will learn how to use collage techniques to create expressive and pleasing compositions. We will begin by following an instructor-led demo to create a small study on board, learning tips along the way for how to make collaged artwork that is pleasing to the eye. Then each student will create a final artwork on canvas using handmade marbled papers, magazine clippings, photos and newsprint. You can use a sample collage as your inspiration, or design one of your own. Everything you need will be supplied for you, but also feel free to bring your own papers, magazine clippings and photos to inspire and personalize your creation!
