Description
Come discover the exciting challenge of creating realistic collage art! We will explore fundamental art principles in composition, texture, values, and color theory through the various applications of collected papers. Students will create their own artwork selected from their own photos or art references. This workshop is suitable for all art levels and no prior experience with collage is required.
