The printmaker and painter Mary Walker has said of her relationship to collage, “I started working with collage because I needed to beef up the color in my work. My color had gotten to be so subtle that it was like a whisper. I have found that working with an idea, a poem, or a piece of music in relation to collage can inspire and energize one’s creative practice.” In this workshop participants will use colorful painted papers, old drawings and prints, and positive and negative shapes, to create collages based on still life, landscape, portraiture, and abstract ideas--the possibilities are open and endless.
This workshop will be useful for a variety of skill-sets, from first-time practioners to artists who want to energize their work across media. |
