Class description:

 

Learn skills and techniques necessary to make a successful collage while focusing on personal affirmations and aspirations. In this fun class students will work on creating a positive vision for their future based on personal goals and assets. Students will accomplish this by first writing their vision down, then matching the written statement to a concrete image – an acrylic collage.

Using recycled papers, magazines, photos and other ephemera students will create a collage on a 12”X12” canvas.  Students will learn basic color theory, composition elements, the use of acrylic paints and mediums, and some tricks of the trade.  When collages are finished, students will learn how to make their new art piece hanging-ready.  The class will culminate in a group viewing and discussion reflecting on the finished paintings.  Students will leave with a great inspirational collage, made by themselves that is ready to hang.

 

Special notes and items to bring:

All supplies included.  Optional to bring: photos, stamps, magazines, your favorite acrylic colors/brushes and personal ephemera.
