Each session workshop will begin with a mini art history lesson - introducing participants to influential collage artists, both historical and contemporary. The majority of class time will be dedicated to creating an in-class collage project. Additionally, students will receive a weekly handout summarizing key takeaways from the session and providing guidance for an at-home collage project to further their practice. At the end of the course students will have created three original collages to take home and enjoy.
