There’s Bears in Them Thar’ Hills – Collage with Li

If you’ve been to Asheville, you have probably seen one, run from one or had breakfast with one. Bears are everywhere so let’s celebrate them in cut paper. This class is for beginners- intermediate students.

Goals: -Have fun. -Learn basic analog (cut by hand) paper collage techniques. -Learn how to transfer a photo onto a surface. -Basic cutting and gluing, building layers to create depth. -Complete the foundation of building a portrait of your favorite fur or feathered friend.

Materials Provided: -Practice boards and panels will be provided. -I will also provide a wide selection of papers and gel medium, some scissors, paper towels, finger cots.
You will bring: – Any extra colorful papers, magazines, etc., that have a variety of colors and textures. – Apron or clothes you do mind getting a little glue on. Don’t forget to bring a beverage and snack.

This can be a serious portrait or something whimsical and silly. If you think you “can’t draw”, I’ll teach you a way to “cheat” to get the image down.

Everyone can do this! Don’t be intimidated. It’s all about learning, experimenting, community and having fun!
