Explore creative possibilities in this six-week abstract mixed media collage course. Working with acrylic paint and paper, you’ll begin by creating a library of personal collage materials—painted papers rich with color, texture, pattern, and mark making.

From there, you’ll explore how to combine these elements using key design principles like value, color, shape, and composition. Through a mix of guided exercises and open exploration, you’ll learn how to layer confidently, balance spontaneity with structure, and develop your own visual language.

This course is perfect for artists who want to loosen up, experiment freely, and expand their creative toolkit. Whether you’re new to mixed media or looking to deepen your practice, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, new techniques, and a body of work that’s uniquely yours.

Please note: This is an instructional and cumulative course with no make-up sessions. If you expect to miss more than two classes and are new to the course, consider enrolling at a time when you can attend the majority of sessions.
