Class Content: Step into the world of collage! In this class you will construct your own mixed media artwork in two phases. First, you’ll create an abstract background collage, using a variety of collage papers, pencils, and acrylic paint. This will get the creative juices flowing by requiring you to think about color, shape, texture, composition and mark-making. Next, you’ll learn how to transfer black & white images directly onto the surface of your collages, using acrylic as the transfer medium. This step will transform your artwork into something truly personal and special.

Supply List: All supplies are provided, however students are encouraged to bring their own images and some collage material (see linked supply list for full description)
