Archive and Material Abstraction
Join Jodi Hays in this workshop on material exploration and collage.
Course Description
Working primarily with paper and textiles, this workshop will play with ideas of collage using materials readily available. As we cut, rip, tear, glue, affix, sew, adhere — material experimentation will focus on the found and unexpected. We will use journals, observations, sketchbooks, and discussions of contemporary and historic artists to enliven and enrich our learning. Each lesson will unravel to look at layering a variety of thoughts onto a single work. Sessions will build on exploration of possibilities in material as well as composition and subject matter. We will learn to observe visual habits in everyday life, using found materials, photographs, type, textiles and more.
Open to experienced artists and art-curious beginners who hope to expand their visual vocabulary.
