We will be looking at and discussing work by variety of assemblage artists, We will have time to talk, ask questions and get feedback. The instructor will be available for 30 minutes after class to answer individual questions. By the end of the two week class students will have completed an assemblage, explored ways of making meaning out of everyday objects, and hopefully will have discovered some new artists
Workshops are taught online through Zoom and Canvas. Students will need a computer or smartphone with a webcam and microphone, internet and web streaming capacity, and the Zoom application installed to their device. A device to capture images (digital camera, smart phone, or tablet, etc.) is helpful, but not required.
Materials list:
