Collage is a very inclusive medium that incorporates a multitude of materials, diverse techniques and strong compositional skills. In this class we will begin each day or session with a warm-up collage exercise then work to expand these skills into more individual artworks that reflect each participant’s interests and love of found materials using other media such as watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil and/or fiber.  Beyond the warm-up exercises, techniques will include layering with transparency, integrating imagery, and incorporating found objects, all with an emphasis on composition.
