EXPLORING PATTERN, PAPER AND COLLAGE!

We will consider ways to print patterned paper, concentrating on layering, glazing, edges, shapes, paper surface and lines. Instead of paint brushes we will experiment with stamps, stencils, ruling pens and squeeze bottles. These can be a great alternative to traditional brushes and pens. You should leave the class with sheets of patterned paper done in two different formats, a hand cut stamp and several simple collages. There will be a demonstration on how to use masks to put the pattern or texture in the exact space and shape where you want it. I will bring the paper, the stamps and the stencils if you bring the enthusiasm! This class will cover techniques useful for all levels and for multimedia artists and painters of all kinds.

SUPPLIES FOR EXPLORATION IN PATTERN PAPER AND COLLAGE
All your collage tools:
scissors, paste (I use mat medium), cutting mat, X-acto knife, etc
3 (three) bottles of acrylic craft paint in any colors you like, include a dark, medium and light color. Pick colors that look good together for your color scheme.
1 (0ne) small bottle of Golden brand fluid acrylics in a matching color.
Three Rubbermaid-type containers big enough to hold your rollers.
3 small foam rollers. 2 ½ -3 inches
a natural sponge

Assortment of brushes, at least one detail brush
Pens and colored pencils in your color scheme.
Small jar of Mat Medium
Optional: A baggie of interesting papers, no bigger than 5 x 5 inches, in your colors. Don’t buy any paper for this class. Sometimes it is nice to have your own paper, but I will bring plenty
Also optional, 3 white or black mats 9 x 9 with cut outs of 6 x 6—Double mats look good, but single will also work. If you have time, you can pattern your mats. An Altoid tin of found objects in your color scheme, such as: postage stamps, wine labels, buttons, lace, etc.
