Saturdays 12:30-2:30pm
Classes will gather weekly to study, explore and understand principles and concerns inherent to the medium of collage. Discussions will review examples of how to incorporate found materials such as stamps, stencils magazine clippings, and various paper stocks along with personal artifacts such as photographs, drawings, written script, scrolls and poems. Students will be asked to consider the undertaking of a portrait (or self-portrait) using collage techniques. Assignments will reinforce concepts and theory covered during class as well as visual relationships combining color and images within the complexity and strength of collage. Class asks students to experiment, and develop a new skill set to add to their artistic toolbox. Final projects will be displayed in a group exhibition.
Students should bring smocks, a sketch book, personal items along with specific magazine subscriptions they wish to use to collage. Class will provide acrylic paints, canvas boards and glue for class projects.
