WORKSHOPS: MIXED MEDIA

Students will choose and arrange images, create small drawings, select a color palette, and develop a center of interest to create an aesthetically pleasing and framed composition. Students are encouraged to collect from home and bring meaningful items to personalize their collage; maps from trips, found 3D objects, small toys, etc. The more materials you select, the more design options you’ll have. Additional objects, hand-made papers, matte medium, glue brushes, and shadow box frames will be provided at the workshop. Please bring a lunch.
