Through free expression, exploration and experimentation, learn about the world of abstract art. Various mixed media techniques and processes will be practiced including cut paper collage, de-collage, photocopy imagery and acrylic painting. As a group we’ll create a large scale, recycled art piece made from items collected by the students over the course of several weeks. We’ll also look at the works of prominent collage artists as inspiration in creating our own portraits.

Experiment with sun-prints, hand coloring and photocopy imagery. Stage and shoot still-life photos. Explore abstract and realistic versions of subject matter through alternative applications in portraiture, mask making, collages and more. Darkroom and digital photography techniques will be introduced.
