Collage and mixed media can often be a catalyst for change in your work, and a refreshing way to handle familiar media. We will look at artists who use collage in their work, explore the classic genre of the Still Life, and experiment working in collage from observation. We will work with different papers, your own discarded art, as well as any water-based media. Students will work towards developing a sense of continuity in a larger body of work.
