Collage Faces
This is a three-day class conducted live over three sessions on Zoom. Class will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
Saturday, May 20, 11am-3pm EST
Saturday, June 3, 11am -3pm EST
Saturday, June 17, 11am -2pm EST
Let's make magical faces together! In class one we will make "face papers." Don't know what those are? Come to class to find out! In class two, we will focus on the structure of the face and how to create depth and shape while collaging. In class three, we will focus on all of the finishing touches that elevate your collage from ordinary to extraordinary -- all of the little things that make it your own. We will also discuss "mistakes" and how to fix them.
Because this class takes place over six weeks, I've also set up a virtual classroom where you can post pictures of your work, chat with other students, and ask questions between classes.
