Creative Collage Workshop

A TWO-PART WORKSHOP:

PACIFIC NORTHWEST ANIMALS

While my home is quiet most of the time, I know that not everyone’s space is these days -- especially those with kids at home and full-time gigs. So, if you’re looking for a break and want your kids to get creative, I’ve got a great class for you!

I'll guide your kid(s) through the process of making colourful collages using hand-painted papers they’ve created. With the help of templates, everyone can make their own, unique and colourful piece of artwork. The templates of orcas, salmon and raven are just a starting point and I'm always amazed with what kids come up with!

WHO’S IT FOR?

• Best suited for children age 8 to 12

• All creative skill levels welcome -- it’s fun and playful for everyone

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• 2 x 1:15mins Zoom led art classes by me

• First class: Using paints, inks or whatever materials you have on hand, we’ll make our own hand-painted papers

• Second class: We’ll use the hand-painted papers created in the first class as our collage material. Kids will be able to use templates of whales, salmon and birds to create a one-of-a-kind piece.

• Easy to use templates to print at home

• Each participant leaves with a beautiful piece of artwork, ready to frame and the skills to create more

• A fun, nurturing environment that promotes creative thinking and play

MATERIALS REQUIRED 

• Paint or an assortment of colour making tools -- anything to make some colourful marks on paper. i.e. felt markers, crayons, or inks (Liquitex ink and watercolour paper is highly recommended but it’s possible to do the workshop without it)
