OFFSITE | Paint with Paper: Collage Art Workshop
Adult Course | Registration opens 5/6/2025 7:00 AM MDT
In this one day, 3-hour workshop we will explore various color combinations, and theme orientated designs using found images and mixed media materials. By making collages in warm, cool, single color, black and white and more, we will explore how to see color, shade, tone and composition. Open to all abilities. Students will be given a color challenge to choose from. Using the provided collage making materials including tissue paper, color pencils, markers, and vintage magazines, students will discover how to see color, design and composition.
This class will generate ideas on how to create finished paintings – abstract, representational, realistic or surreal.
- This course will take place at our Englewood satellite studio located at 901 Englewood Pky Unit 108, Englewood, CO 80110
- All supplies provided by ASLD. Students can bring their own found images & old magazines if wish, but not required

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is a reflection and reinterpretation of pop culture from the 50's, 60's, and 70's combined with a reimagined culture of today. For my mixed media paintings, I integrate magazine cut-outs with water-based paints to create 'other worldly' landscapes. For my collage series, I combine vintage magazine cut-outs on paper to create surreal, dreamy vignettes. These works are meant to reveal a deeper underlying psychological theme, feeling, or political statement that transcends time.
