In this workshop we will look at the work of various well-known mixed media artists such as Joseph Cornell, Kurt Schwitters and Henri Matisse, as well as artists you may be less familiar with such as Hannah Hoch, Romare Bearden, John O'Reilly, Fred Tomaselli, Arturo Herrera and many more. By looking at a broad range of artists, old and new, schooled and self-taught – and how they utilized collage in their work – we will explore ways collage can be a means of expression in your art. We will roll up our sleeves and cut, paste, rip, glue, stitch, draw, paint and explore the many possibilities and wonderful experiences of collage and mixed media assemblage. This workshop includes afternoon access to the studio during non-class time.
