FroyleArt Creative Academy | Foundation Class
Making Collage Art Using Found Papers
Beautiful collage materials don't have to come from an art supply shop. Some of the most interesting papers are already waiting to be discovered in your own home.
In this Foundation Class, you'll learn how to find and transform everyday papers into beautiful collage artwork. I'll share a wide variety of found-paper possibilities, show you how to select and adhere them successfully, and explore the elements of collage that will help you create strong, engaging compositions.
You'll discover that almost any piece of paper has creative potential when you begin to look at it with an artist's eye.
