Welcome to the wonderful world of collage, a flexible, adaptive way to work that can refresh your way of seeing and using materials. We will work with ‘common’ materials such as magazines, old papers, old artwork (if available) and non-toxic, water-based supplies. We will discuss color and composition as we move from week to week on our projects, combining papers and mixed media to create our pieces. Each class will include both demos and examples, as well as time for feedback from the instructor and fellow students.

What you will learn:
1. Become familiar with new materials and explore ways of combining them through experimentation
2. Develop a small series of artworks based on a theme
3. Explore working from your imagination, not relying on observation
4. Learn from classmates by observing their work and through group conversations
5. Experience art-making with simple materials and without any art background required.
