Paper This Town: How to Be The Boss of Collage, Mixed Media, and More

$129.00

**This is a 6-week course. Your registration fee includes 1 class per week for 6 weeks**

[Fall Quarter / Term II] 10/21/19 – 11/29/19
[Sundays] 12:00PM – 2:00PM

Students will experience this eclectic, fun, and collaborative art form in a very hands-on way; they will take home several functional/stand-alone art pieces by the end of the course. As part of their collage and crafting process, students will also learn techniques to more clearly discern their inner aesthetic, as well as gain confidence in expressing their individual artistic flair.

Students can sift through and select from a treasure trove of found objects, craft drawer detritus, cut papers, textiles, metals, gems, memorabilia & mementos to use in their creations. After an initial class overview of collage/mixed media and paper-crafting within a historical and contemporary art context, as well as a quick look at representation in social media and pop culture of today – class time will consist of both structured in-class exercises and assignments as well as small group/individual time for students to create the pieces that excite them while experimenting with which colors, shapes, textures layers and placements most resonate with their inner artiste.

We will have a class gallery walk on the last day of class. No pre-requisites in collage or crafting necessary – only requirement is that students come ready to engage and dress to mess!
