Collage Games!
Collage/mixed media can be an overwhelming medium because anything goes. In my work, I like to play games with the medium, ie set boundaries I must adhere by.
For this workshop I’ll set some rules & provide some must use materials or themes. Just birds! Must incorporate glitter! All blue! (Examples) Trade scraps with your neighbor & only work with those. (We will definitely do this).
Everyone must bring at least one thing to give to someone else to use.
