In this class, we are going to be creating some large abstract collage pieces. These are fantastic for learning how to "go large" for your art. We do a nice dive into the composition to get you comfortable with how to divide up your paper and know what areas you need to fill. This makes the whole process of creating large so much easier than just jumping in and wondering why things aren't working. Our goal is to create colorful, dynamic, textural, interesting pieces that really wow us.

We are going to start out by painting some of our own papers on brown kraft paper. We'll gather some handmade papers if you love the look of the ones I'm showing you in class and using in my own abstract pieces. I have some wonderful resource PDFs for you on the project page for Paper Sources and Composition that you will want to grab. 

Once we have our papers painted, and our papers ready - we'll start figuring out our composition and pulling our pieces together. This is a fantastic class if you have always wanted to go larger and didn't know how... and if you usually work small... this will get you out of your comfort zone and push yourself into new skills!
