After this class, students will have a greater understanding of wild birds and a unique piece of collage art to display. Beyond that, they will also have an enhanced artistic eye, with an appreciation for the way that color and shape work together. They will have increased awareness of their own artistic style, and the confidence to develop that style by utilizing items they may not previously have considered.  

I have been captivated by paper cut out collage as an art form since my first introduction to Henri Matisse in middle school. In 2017, I began selling my own collage art to friends and family, and in 2019, I launched Bramble Schell Studio, my design business where I create stickers, greeting cards, and prints as well as digital pattern and surface work.
