EXPLORING COLLAGE
This class invites you to explore the possibilities and advantages of mixed media collage techniques.
You will work with methods that help you find a playful access to artistic creation. Your perception of the materials and their possibilites of combination together with the playful handling of demonstrated techniques will lead you to a variety of results. The use of experimental or accidental results and the individual combinations of techniques and materials with one another will release even more design possibilities.
Explore the haptic qualities of different textures and surfaces by using a variety of papers, cardboards and fabrics in your work together with acrylic paint. You will experiment with juxtaposing different materials, pattern and images in your composition to create tension.
New and unusual pictorial contexts will ocurr if you combine an abstract or patterned space with a concrete image. Start to create at first guided by your intuition and then step back to take a closer look on the composition to make deliberate decisions on the design.
This 5 day class will give you the opportunity to experiment, explore, develop and design. Take the chance to find your theme and explore it in a series of collages! Suitable for beginning to advanced students.
