Contemporary Collage
with Mark Harris
Thursday, May 2nd | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Attendees will learn how to combine visual elements to create a new image that conveys a message or idea. The workshop will focus on basic elements of composition, selecting images and how to juxtapose them, surface preparation, and how to create a collage/photomontage.
While we provide all the required materials for this project, we highly recommend that attendees bring meaningful images they'd like to work with. They can be from magazines, newspapers, postcards, advertisements or old photos.
