Paper Collage Animals

Inspired by the collage art of Clare Youngs, we will create our own patterned paper using paint sticks, markers, stamps, ink, and chalk. These colorful textured papers will be cut up and shared amongst the students. Animals of the students’ choice will be created using these papers. Students will cut each animal part from complimentary papers which results in a well-balanced work of art. Through this workshop, students will learn the process of creating a project beginning with the inspiration through idea development, project creation, completion and critique. 

 

Personalized Workshops

Although the workshops described all have a theme, I would love to work with you to tailor the project to what you are working on in the classroom or just an idea you have. I can also create a project using different materials, a project series taking place over more than one workshop, or a group installation project for your school.
