Using Drawings as Collage

Outline

We will explore the process of using drawings (using those from participants’ stock and some small drawings created in the workshop on paper supplied) as collage onto paper ensuring that the final artworks are archival and acid free. Elements of design, some brief drawing principles, and working to bring the collaged work to completion will be covered. We will look at (a) using one major drawing to carry a work - as well as (b) using drawings as minor elements in a completed work. Tricia demonstrates every step along the way, provides handouts and spends as much time with individual participants as possible.
