Each week we will look at a different collage or mixed media artist and learn about their work as a jumping off point for our own work.
Through slides and demonstrations, students will gain new skills and ideas for making their own collage and mixed media class. Open to any skill level and experience with collage, this is a great class for learning new techniques that can easily be done from home with materials and paper you have on hand.
