ART ON THE MEADOW - COLLAGE WORKSHOP

10:00AM - 5:00PM. Ox-Bow School of Art. With its stream of endlessly reproducible images, materials, patterns, and information, the medium of collage has a unique history and vital connection to contemporary life. During this day-long workshop, explore basic approaches to collage, including gathering and organizing collections of images and materials, and piecing them together in new configurations. Presentations of works by modern and contemporary artists will introduce you to the limitless possibilities of working with collage, while technical demonstrations and exercises will explore the material processes and concepts presented. This workshop will emphasize play, failure, and experimentation. Shape Scapes Collage Workshop runs on Saturday, August 8, from 10AM-5PM, taught by Molly Markow and costs $100. Art on the Meadow is a unique program, providing an intergenerational space for students to come together in the inspiring natural environment at Ox-Bow for half day, one day, or short term multi-day classes. Our workshops are geared toward teen and adult makers of all experience levels, age 13 and up. Art on the Meadow workshops offer participants an opportunity to connect traditional art and craft processes with contemporary ideas and approaches to artmaking. We strive for our workshops to be imaginatively challenging and logistically accessible for our West Michigan neighbors.
