Mixed Media Collage Workshop

Collage is a contemporary art form where pieces of paper and photographs are put together to create a whole new piece. When you think about creating a collage you have to think about and try to understand the concept of layers, as you discover how the components in a collage need to be placed and well thought-out.

This is a medium that fuses experimentation along with a plan that reflects your personal expression as you think about how to collect, organize and layer materials like photographs, cut paper, fabric, paint and glued items to a finished piece.

No previous art experience is required for this workshop. Students are encouraged to bring copies of their photos in a variety of sizes in color or black and white. DO NOT BRING ORIGINAL PHOTOS since they will be cut and pasted onto your collage.

Each student will receive an assortment of collage materials from the instructor’s personal collection of decorative, hand painted and vintage papers to utilize in the creation of your collage
