Unlocking the Secrets of Paper with David Adix
We will construct with hand crafted paper as well as vintage paper, scrap book inserts, vintage envelopes and letters, old documents and non-traditional papers typically not considered for this magical art form. Several projects will use found paper also known as “road-kill”. We will approach collage from a formalist perspective: looking at composition in regards to space, shape, line, color and pattern. At the end of each project we look at our collages as a group and consider the work as a unit, critique individual work, shedding light on what makes a good composition, learning to construct intuitively.
