Collage


Introduction to Collage
In this introductory class we will explore creating collages that emphasize color, form, texture and layering. We will be working with many types of papers and even fabrics. We will also explore incorporating photographs, small objects, painting and text. We will be looking at contemporary and historical collage artists for inspiration. This class is appropriate for beginners and more experienced art creators. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of collage as a means of self-expression. Bringing in photographs, materials and small artifacts of personal relevance is encouraged. There is an activities fee. Instructor Kathleen Fay is a certified art teacher. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in Photography. She enjoys teaching students of all ages.
