LH-54-EXT Collage ART – Mixing it Up! Workshop

Collage is an experimental process, visual journaling, combining photos, images – things you have saved can be reused, arty-recycling. Collage is a form of self-discovery that truly links the heart and mind. Collage lets you understand your thinking process, learn new skills while having fun. Using simple tools – scissors and a glue stick, writing exercises, words and images, you can see the artwork develop and spark new possibilities. Book Arts will encourage you to tell a story and learn what makes a book a book. You will learn how to create a few surprise books, books made from a single sheet of paper – this is all an experimental process plus its fun, and you can continue using these skills after the class is over. Bring with you: copier paper (or a notebook), pen or pencil, glue stick or Mod Podge, scissors, crayons, markers, etc. You can also bring mementos of activities, ticket stubs, stamps, bits of ribbons, magazines, an old book, something you will cut up.
