WEAVING PIECES: VISUAL AND WRITTEN COLLAGE
Ages 16-29
Winter 2022, Online
In this online workshop, student fellows will explore the art of collage in written and visual formats. Working with original and found content--poetry and prose; photographs, illustrations, and even objects--they’ll reflect on and reimagine their environments and themselves, disassembling and reassembling, offering unique perspectives on the world and on the nature of personal expression. They’ll experiment with digital and physical projects, creating portfolios of stories, portraits, profiles, and abstract artworks. They’ll study established artists for inspiration, learn fundamental design practices, strengthen their writing skills, and discover new methods of catharsis through their art. Selected works will be shared through a public exhibition and on the program website. Limited to 10 student fellows.
