Have you ever wanted to experiment with collage? It’s an enjoyable medium in which you can play around with photos, old letters, fabrics, decorative papers, magazine cutouts, rice papers, old music, paint, etc., to create a new piece of art. We will have materials here, but if you have any old photos, or any kind of ephemera you might like to use, bring them on in. It’s a very forgiving medium - if you don’t like it, you can just paint gesso over the whole thing and start anew!! Students will work on 9” x 12” canvas boards. Masks are required for all. #841752-A (9:30-11:30 am) or #841752-B (6:30-8:30 pm) Upstairs
