“La Parlatora” - Jane’s artwork Exhibition Art in Confinement.

At this session we will be practicing some other creative approaches to collages.

Some ideas we will be exploring:

1. Repurpose Existing Artwork

• Revisit old pieces with fresh ideas.

• Layer and combine previous works into new creations.

2. Invent Hybrid Creatures

• Combine organic elements with animals (e.g., mushrooms with flowers, sea life with legs or hands).

• Create surreal beings by merging unexpected forms.

3. Incorporate Stitching

• Add texture and detail with thread and needle.

• Use stitching as both an embellishment and a structural element.

4. Explore Digital and Physical Hybrids

• Include digital prints in your collages.

• Combine printed imagery with traditional materials like watercolor and thread.

Materials:

  • Modpodge or Glue

  • Brush

  • Watercolor Paper

  • An Old Picture in glossy paper (for example)

  • Images of Animals

  • Magazines

  • Needles

  • Thread

  • Scissors

  • Or anything else that you want to bring for this project.
