What story do you want to tell? This class will focus on various collage techniques and materials, using art elements such as color, shape and pattern toward a narrative. We’ll begin with short exercises to explore the power of composition (arrangement of elements) to lead the viewer through your work, followed by a larger, personal story collage.

Materials will be furnished for the class, but students will receive a list of narrative prompts and suggested personal collage items to collect prior to the workshop.
