WORKSHOP- Mixed Media Collage with Maria Mesquita

EB $45 / Reg $50 + $5 materials

Explore the fascinating world of collage art in our inspiring workshop. Collage, derived from the French word "coller," meaning to glue, is a versatile 2D art form that involves incorporating various materials onto a surface. Popularized by Cubist artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, collage has evolved into a captivating form of expression. It allows you to experiment with many different materials and offers endless creative possibilities.

We will start with some basic principles such as: how to built a background, work on composition, add focal points and embellishments. We will then select the materials to be used (glue, paper, newsprint, fabric, buttons, found objects or natural elements) and have fun making a unique collage on cardboard (8.5x11''). Embellishments such as doodles, black silhouettes, unique images, embroidery, etc. can be added. You will finish with a unique framable piece.

All materials included.
