The process of creating art through collage is transformative—both in terms of the materials you work with and the creative process itself. It's about turning the ordinary into something extraordinary, using intuition and imagination to make something new out of various fragments or elements.

In this course, you'll dive into composition, artistic decision-making, and the beauty and necessity of imperfection. Through hands-on exploration, we’ll use collage to ignite spontaneous creativity, making it accessible for everyone—from beginners to experienced artists. This intuitive process allows each artist’s unique experience to shape their work, fostering free expression and creative discovery.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled make up date for this course will be Friday, February 28. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
