Unleash Your Creativity: Transform "Bad" Art into Stunning Collage Abstracts

Ready to rediscover the joy of art? This class is all about embracing imperfections and turning so-called "art failures" into captivating junk art collages. You'll be amazed at the potential hidden within discarded art pieces!

We'll explore a liberating and easy-to-learn technique: cutting up old artwork and reassembling it into unique abstract art. See my own art experiments gone wrong transformed into beautiful, unexpected creations. This is the perfect project to break out of an art rut or jumpstart your creative journey.

This class is for you if:

  • You're eager to learn new art techniques.
  • You're fascinated by reimagining art through collage.
  • You enjoy observing different art approaches.
  • You love experimenting with art supplies.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to transform leftover art scraps and art failures into compelling collage abstracts.
  • A simple and freeing process for creating abstract art from unexpected materials.
  • Techniques for repurposing art supplies and giving them new life.
  • How to approach your art practice with a fresh perspective.

Supplies You'll Need:

  • Leftover Art Scraps: Gather your old paintings, drawings, sketches – anything you're ready to cut up and transform.
  • Glue: I recommend YES! Paste, heavy matte medium, or any strong glue suitable for thicker materials. Stronger glues work best for adhering thicker art pieces.
  • Scissors or Paper Cutter: For precise cutting.
  • Paper: Canson Cold Press Watercolor paper (140lb) is a great choice for the base, but any paper will work.
