Course Description

For this workshop we will be working with black and white copyright clip art. You’ll have a wide range of subject matter to work with. It’s primarily a process class but with an end piece in mind. The importance of adding you (the magic in any artwork) will be stressed. You’re not here to copy, you’re here to create your own visual expression. Your instructor will be your guide!

Day one we will work the substrates and create a neutral background with textures and meaning. You will create 3 which can be used for three separate or one tryptic or a single and a diptych piece. The choice will be yours.

Day two and three you will learn collage techniques in applying, blending, composition and finishes.
Instructor will reach out to you in the weeks before class to ask about themes and ideas you might like to execute.
ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
