Approaches to Paper Collage

Dates: Thursday, April 22, 2021
Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Instruction: Online Instruction*
Instructor: Virginia Hoffman

Credits: Certificate of Completion / 2 CTLE hours

This class will talk about paper collage, and then end in a hands-on art activity! We’ll take a look at the art historical and contemporary collage artists Lois Lord, Kurt Schwitters, and Mikalene Thomas, and their influence on this multi-media art form, and then use the materials in your space to make a collage of your own. No previous experience required, only a desire to have fun in this engaging art lesson. 

Expand your understanding of this wonderful media, and connect to other artists on Earth Day!
