MIXED MEDIA & BOOK ARTS
Collage is a picture or design created by adhering basically flat elements as newspaper, wallpaper, printed text and illustrations, photographs, cloth, string, etc. to a surface. Introduced by the Cubist artists, it was widely used by artists who followed, and is a familiar technique in contemporary art. Students will explore the methods of early abstract artists to create an individual small collage utilizing found papers, prints and mixed media. Learn to ”play” with these materials and have fun creating collage. Beginning or experienced students will benefit from this workshop.
