Collage Art Club : Rip It Up!
What's included
1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Collage is an older art form than most people realize! Japanese artists were ripping up paper and creating chigiri-e art from around the 2nd Century A.D. and in Victorian England, collage Valentines were all the rage. Join me, Yvonne, in exploring historical collage and current collage. We will try new techniques and discuss what constitutes a collage in today's art world. 👩🏻🎨`♡´✩°。⋆⸜ Course Outline: This class is an art creators club where we will share our artwork and inspire each other. Each class, I will give a short presentation on a point historical or technical that I discovered this week and we will begin sharing directly after. We can work on a project during class around the presentation or we can work independently. This class is also a learner led experience! Bring in your information, create your own presentation, teach us your techniques and share your vision. You will need glue (sticks are easiest), paper, watercolours, brushes, a bit of water in a jar, magazines, newspapers, a discarded book you can cut up and any variety of found objects. Let's discover all the ways collage shows up in art!
Learning Goals

Supply List
You will need glue sticks, white glue, or modge podge; paints of some sort (hopefully non-toxic) and brushes; found objects from a walk; magazines, newspapers, flyers, construction paper; scissors; maaaybee a hammer, nail, or wire, string or something to work on the 3D collage; a computer that you can use photo editing software on and permission from your adult to install the software if you don't already have it. Please discuss this with your adult. I use Gimp and it is open source and functions just like Photoshop and we can use Canva as well. (If you want to stick to paper - pun intended - you don't have to create photo collages on your computer).

Yvonne, B.Mus McGill University, is an interdisciplinary artist with a wide range of interests. After a minor concentration in Art History, I continue to be fascinated by the subject and exploration into how we have changed art over the centuries. This includes fashion! I like to upcycle old clothing, create collage and assemblage sculpture, create electronic music and I work a lot with recycled materials and papercrafts. As a homeschooling mom of an ND learner, I've developed project based learning opportunities that combine curricular expectations with specific interests. I am of Metis and European heritage and enjoy exploring history and current art trends in my culture as well. Learner Led project based learning is where we connect with learners and inspire them to continue in their learning journey.
