Mixed Media Collage lass
Art as Self-Discovery: Mixed Media Art
Thursdays, 6:00-9:00pm, September 17th, 24th, October 1st, 8th
Attendance: $275.00 + $10.00 Materials Fee
In this 4 session series, students will explore the art of creating mixed-media art with multiple techniques. Marion will guide you through the basics of composition, color theory, and image selection. This workshop is designed for people of all creative levels who wish to learn collage and mixed media skills, connect with the community, and engage in meaningful self-expression.
Students will have access to a curated selection of collage materials, paints, and scissors, and are encouraged to bring magazines and personal images of choice. We will explore image selection and composition, image transfer, combining collage with acrylics and watercolors, embedding 3D objects, choosing mounting surfaces, framing, and more. Marion will offer individual and group guidance in each class.
While we’ll appreciate the aesthetic aspects of the work, we will value the meaning and emotional resonance of each piece. This is a space for connection and non-judgement, where your unique creative expression matters above all – inviting curiosity and play to reveal new pathways of seeing and creating.
Students are encouraged to bring the following materials:
• Gloves
• Preferred Glue
• Preferred scissors
