Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I've been collecting clippings from magazines for YEARS, but was always a little intimidated to start collaging. Your lesson was just the nudge I needed :)

Great video. So helpful, clear, encouraging. You communicate exactly the kind of openness (to the viewer) that you are also recommending that we take toward the art. Perfect!

I really like your demonstration !!I have admire the fact that collage is a process of narrating a story through images. To reconstruct, tear down and start again. This medium never bores, and also once collage and any other medium are intertwined, creating something new is profound

It seems like headless bodies are so over done in collage.

"It kind of felt at home." That resonates with me. Even though your style is different than mine i like that concept.
