Creative Collage: Gaining Insight to Our Thoughts w/ Laura Raborn

Often, when arranging collage items, a message or theme develops, seemingly like magic. Playing with collage elements can help us tap into our inner thoughts, memories, and creativity. As we experiment, our compositions unfold and help us realize what we think, rather than executing a predetermined vision for our artwork. Explore how content and meaning change as you shift and play with color, scale, texture and subject matter. And see what unexpected messages appear as your create your collage project!

**Please note: There is an additional $8 supply fee to be paid at the time of the class to the instructor.
