Painted Papers and Collage	6:30 - 9:30 Monday
	Crystal Neubauer	$75

This workshop is filled.
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process
Prerequisite: None

The use of paint in collage and mixed media can be both exciting and intimidating. Fear of making a muddy mess on the canvas can prevent the free and spontaneous play essential to a vibrant work of art. Release your creative voice in this no pressure evening painting papers with layers of delicious marks for your own colorful stash of collage fodder. This stockpile will be large enough to use in other workshops at AU, including my full day Exploring Collage Combinations, but we will also end the evening with several quick collage exercises to give each student the confidence to use their new collection of painted materials at home on their own.

Materials Fee: $5 payable to Instructor at class time includes:
A wide variety of mark-making tools and imprint materials
Stencils and wood blocks
Alcohol Ink
India Ink
Graphite and charcoal blocks
Watercolor paper for collage foundation
