Collage & Acrylic Explorations

Collage & Acrylic Explorations

Course Code: ARTS1004

This course has been designated at a beginner/intermediate level. These courses may branch into skill building beyond the beginner level, but the faculty member is also willing to take on students with no previous skills.
In this exciting process-oriented course you will learn to combine collage materials and acrylic paint as a means of personal visual expression and distinct vocabulary. With a creative spirit, you will be encouraged to explore and experiment with new techniques using oriental and tissue papers, magazines, photographs, found objects, fabric, fibres, acrylic paint and anything else that you would like to adhere to your support surface. Make your own stamp and stencil and learn how to make polymer transfers. Composition and design principles will be addressed. Personal creative expression and uniqueness will be encouraged as you benefit from individual attention as well as group dialogue.
