What You Will Learn?
- As you take down last year's wall calendar, stop and consider its potential. Perhaps you chose that calendar for its vibrant colors or the inspirational mottos. Can those thoughts and feelings serve you this year as well? Revitalize your favorite calendar with collage and give it another year of life!.
- I am always on the lookout for new paper materials and taking down my own calendar inspired me to create several collage pieces that I can enjoy throughout the year. Develop your collage skills by making your own desktop calendar!.
- This class is designed for the beginners in collage and will set them up for success. There are just a few key points to making an inspired piece:.
- Even if you have worked with paper crafts before, you will find collage as fun as it was when you first attempted it as a child! Making something beautiful from old, torn paper scraps brings a feeling of satisfaction. Making collage art as an adult helps to de-stress and it activates your inner child to play! Plus, students will be able to use these art concepts in future projects like greeting cards, tags, journaling media, envelopes, or bookmarks..
- The materials for collage are as simple as paper and glue. But here are a few more you might consider:.
- One other item you may want is a color wheel. In class I use it to demonstrate color harmony and how to choose coordinating papers based on your background choices or focal point. It is optional. The practice of matching colors can be a personal experience..
- I demonstrate 3 Desk Calendar Cards using 2 different types of calendars. Whether it is a colorful photography nature calendar type with no word, or one that is illustrated with plenty of text, students will understand what to look for when designing their own collage. .
