About This Activity
Through collage you will create your own visual narratives from bits and pieces of paper castoffs and ephemera. You will suspend preconceived notions of how images should coexist, and discover the endless possibilities for unlikely image pairings. We are going to play with proportion and scale, and create cohesion through color and shape. This course is excellent for beginners as well as for those who have practice in other visual art forms. Collage kits will be provided, and at the close of the workshop you’ll have created three fabulous collages unique to just you. What is collage? The word collage comes from the French: coller, "to glue" or "to stick together.” It is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assembly of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage can be created with many materials, but we will be using paper. Instructor provides paper kits for students to create several collages during the workshop. Kits: (watercolor paper substrate and papers with which to collage) Please check your registration confirmation email for a link to the supply list.
