Dive into the witty creative world of Pop artists, such as Peter Blake, Andy Warhol and David Hockney, to create a refreshing new likeness of an artist using collage. Experiment with two collage styles: papier collé and photomontage (or a combination) in 2D or 3D.
We will be starting with some fun, quick drawing exercises to demystify the face and human form and learn the basics of portrait drawing, before moving onto creating a finished artwork. Throughout the workshop, we will focus on a range of compositional ideas, basic anatomy and exploration of materials and portraits outside the traditional route of paint on canvas or paper.
No art or drawing experience is required. All materials are provided.
