Composition for Collage:
Taught by Claudine Hellmuth
Visual Tips and Techniques to Enhance your Layouts, Journals, and Projects
Have you ever felt drawn to a photograph, scrapbook layout, or wall display without really understanding why? Have you ever struggled with a project that doesn't feel quite right, but you don't know how to fix it? In both scenarios there is a specific element at play—composition!
In the world of visual arts, "composition" is the placement or arrangement of the visual elements in a photograph, painting, print advertisement, or scrapbook page. It's the foundation of your design. In Composition for Collage, Claudine Hellmuth will help you elevate your art as you explore the FUNdamentals of artistic composition. You'll spend four weeks playing with symmetry and asymmetry, focal points and focus, vignettes, horizon lines, and more.
Regardless if you are a scrapbooker who's just starting to dabble in mixed media, or if you're already comfortable creating altered artwork, you can learn to take your own designs from cluttered to clean and avoid common compositional pitfalls!
A veteran artist and teacher, Claudine has taught this popular workshop live internationally as well as here at Big Picture Classes. She has adapted various methods she learned from her university-level art training, and she's ready to guide you through each step, offering advice and tips on your projects as well as fun vintage image downloads for your art pieces.
Each week is broken down into fun exercises that are easy to learn and quick to implement. At the end of class, you'll walk away with at least four finished projects and the knowledge to take your work even further.
