Collage is an older art form than most people realize! Japanese artists were gluing paper onto silk as early as the 1100's 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, please refer to the Syllabus. Class Experience: We will begin with any work from the previous week to be presented. I will then present a short slide show and we will discuss as we go the things we find interesting about the period and art style we are studying. This class will also be learner led. If we decide to take longer on one section or another I will allow that organic expansion and contraction (maybe something will not be as interesting to the students and somethings will be more so). Having taken Art History classes with a focus on First Nations art at McGill University and as a Metis artist myself, I will also be showcasing Indigenous artists using collage whose technique matches our study and inquiry. In particular, I will present George Littlechild and Jane Ash Poitras as contemporary First Nations Canadian artists. I believe it's important to include many perspectives and artistic expressions. SUPPLIES: 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. We are ESL Friendly, CEFR Level B and C. *This course directly relates to B.C.

Lesson 2:
Victorian Collage
Victorian Collage says much about it's time, changing society and how Victorian women reflected that in their artwork. This weeks class is a bit Art History heavy and the assignment is to look at our place in our world and put ourselves in our collage.
Supplies: Cardstock or cardboard to glue on (as base), glue (I use a gluestick), scissors/art knife, magazines, newspaper and a picture of yourself printed out on regular paper (color or b/w but no bigger than 3"x2") pencils, eraser.

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.
