Collage: Unveiling the Mysteries
Do you love collage but find yourself confused over all of the possibilities? Are you at a loss when faced with an entire shelf of acrylic mediums? And then there are glues, varnishes and all kinds of surface possibilities!
Drawing from the instructor's knowledge - based on 30 years of mixed media work - this class will answer many of your questions!
We'll start by making a "sampler" of various acrylic mediums and gessoes and noting their advantages and disadvantages. Then working on a pre-stretched canvas (can be unstretched if traveling by plane), we'll create a textured, color surface on which to mount images and ephemera, building a finished collage. The principles of design will be stressed as students work on their collages.
Hand-outs for the class will be in a spiral bound book, providing a permanent reference for students.
