Collage workshop, 2017-218 circa. Part 2.

Since 2010 i have been organizing collage workshops for people who like art and want to make sth creative and rather simple. I have my own collage technique based on the stained glass art and since my early days in art i managed to find a way of making it a lesson. My workshops last for 3 months and each student makes 1 artwork per month. Even though i expected artists to take part at my workshops, all of my students are people who are looking to make a beautiful craft work and relax their mind through the creative process.

In this portrait my student, who is a very creative person, chose as basis a famous pop art painting, We worked with coloured papers instead of photographs because is an easier process and more forgiving in making mistakes. It takes some time for someone to get comfortable with the tools and so we always start by cutting cheap coloured paper instead of expensive photograph prints. The student had her own vision about the artwork and i did not intervene much, i left her doing what she thought best and advised her a bit from time to time.
