Collage: Studies in Composition
Sunday, October 5, 1pm - 4pm
In this workshop you will work with simple materials and tools such as coloured and patterned papers, scissors and glue. These are all you need to create exciting and vibrant compositions. Working with a 'paper palette' of colours and patterns is the most immediate way to arrange various elements on a picture plane. Overview of the basic principles of design and how to implement them in collage compositions will be covered. This workshop is perfect for you if you are looking for new ways to approach the design of your work, or if you want an easy, stress-free way to do something creative. Suitable for beginners. Instructor: Wendy Welch Fee: $65 (materials included) ImagesTo register on-line
