Assembling a Painting

NC1089-01

“Collage-making, for me, is basically an act of painting, allowing me to indulge in an appetite for immediacy.”    

                                                                  ~Abe Ajay

In this course, we will explore the fascinating world of collage and assemblage. Collage can be defined as seemingly different parts coming together to make a whole. Fabric, pieces of paper, photographs, letters, newspaper clippings, string, or found materials can be used to make a collage. You can draw, print, sew, and transfer clippings or photographs onto a collage. Really anything can be used to make a collage! When working in this way, materials that we typically think cannot co-exist do something very interesting visually when placed together, leading to a space that is dynamic and revealing. Enjoy a dance between chaos and control!

“The creation of an art collage from the soul is an inner journey that allows your soul to speak to you. Your soul’s voice can be heard through the images, feelings and insights that surface…”
