ICL: Creative Collage Class, May 01 – May 29

Instructor - Billie Shelburn

Collage is the French term meaning "to glue".  Come to this class and learn just how much fun it is to work with.  It can add a new and creative meaning to your art endeavors.

Collage is a very interesting way of introducing extra material into a painting or drawing.  Also it is a viable way of creating artistically on its own.  In this class all uses of collage will be demonstrated and explored.  Each week will contain the materials and methods to expand your knowledge of how to either incorporate it into your way of working in art, or how to do a complete work of art with only collage papers such as in chigiri-e, a form of collage primarily done in Japan. All materials will be provided by instructor each class for $25 per class.
