Photographic Collage Workshop May 18th 2008 10:00-4:00pm (see link below)

participants from Watch Me Fly workshop at Morris Museum 

Learn collage in new and exciting ways. Become a collage artist. Collage is fun and also serious. It’s accessible to artists at all levels, from beginners to professional, and it’s a great way to work intuitively and play with new materials, processes and techniques.

Work with papers, fabric, photographs, recycled art and found objects, paint and mixed media. Improve composition, color, line, shape, texture and design.  Explore collage as painting, drawing, and sculpture. Collage is any work that is multi-layered, pieces and assembled. Collage is hands-on. It’s always a personal statement. Collage is now!

Through collage, you will expand your personal visual vocabulary, and take your current work to the next level.

I offer workshops and classes for beginners to advanced students. Please email me at nancy@nikkal.com with your questions and inquiries about upcoming workshops and classes.
