Watercolor and Collage

Adult Summer Class | Available

Explore the expressive intersection of watercolor and collage in this experimental, process-based class. Taking inspiration from contemporary artists such as Lorna Simpson, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and Firelei Báez this course invites students to use layered imagery, texture, and color as a means of personal storytelling.

We will focus on intuitive exploration over polished results, using a range of mixed media techniques to investigate themes of identity, history, body, and place. Classes will be a combination of demonstrations, guided prompts, and personal work time with feedback integrated into class sessions.

Perfect for artists of all levels who are curious about expanding their practice, this class creates space for experimentation, reflection, and voice-driven visual storytelling.
