Scraptastic! Use Up Your Papers with Mixed Media

What You Will Learn?

• One of the best things about mixed media and collage is that they’re sustainable.  You can reuse materials that had former lives, save them from the landfill, and make them into something beautiful. .
• But after all of the trimming, ripping, and cropping, sometimes you wind up with more scraps in the trash than projects on the shelf, am I right? .
• My name is Jennifer Laurel Keller.  I’m an artist and instructor with over 20 years working in the arts.  One of my favorite things is to find creative ways to reuse materials. .
• So, in this class, Scraptastic!, I share six must-try mini projects so that you can use up all of those pretty (and not-so-interesting) paper scraps.  And then at the end we’ll do a couple of finished projects to put all of the components into action..
• In the lessons, I’ll cover simple techniques for composition, texture, balance, layering papers with a bit of acrylic paint, and how to use my favorite adhesive for a strong hold.  Many of the projects are so easy that you can do them while you relax during your down time..
• This class is right for you if hate to see your beloved papers go in the trash and you want to rethink the possibilities of your materials.  So are you ready to get scrappy?  I’ll see you in class!.
