In this class, students will experiment with different media, fabrics, papers, and techniques. Students will discover their own personal artistic voice while focusing on composition, textures, and layers. This exploration of mixed media and collaging uses background treatments and transfer of images, including the use of photographs and found objects to add meaning to their works. An overview of historical and contemporary collage will also be explored. The course also offers students an opportunity to design and build 3D structures. Additive and subtractive (carving) sculpture, construction, mobile, assemblage, molding/casting, and model making will be studied.
