WORKSHOP -Exploring Self-Image through Mixed Media Collage
Info
Collage serves as a powerful tool to explore self-image concepts.
This workshop invites participants to engage with their self-perception by utilizing paint, collage, and various materials. The process encourages experimentation with abstraction and the reassessment of traditional self-portrait methods. Participants will integrate found images, symbols, and textures from diverse sources to enrich the artwork's meaning. By the conclusion of the session, attendees will have crafted a distinctive mixed media piece that reflects their identity, showcasing the transformative power of art.
Attendees are required to bring two A4 printouts of themselves for use during the workshop, while all other materials will be supplied. The workshop will be conducted in English.
