Course Description

Join Leslie Rottner on her first course here at the Jeanne Oliver Creative Network! I remember the feeling of getting out my construction paper, grabbing magazines, and reaching for the glue when I was in grade school. I loved that process then, and I still find it thrilling. It never gets old. When I first started down this path I searched for information that would get me started but I wasn’t able to find exactly what I was looking for. In creating this course I kept that in mind. My desire was to have content that explored creating a collage from start to finish.

Creative Collage In this course you will explore:

1.Substrates and supplies
2.Gathering collage material
3.Making your own collage papers
4.Working in a series
5.Layering paper, paint, and marks
6. Finishing touches
7. Sealing
8. Mounting and hanging

My hope is that with these tools, and your discovery of what you as an artist are drawn to, amazing art will be made.
