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.
