Class Description:
Come join in the fun of exploring your creative process and expressing yourself using an endless variety of colors, textures, images, photos, mediums, and anything else that speaks to you. We will explore some fundamentals of composition, line, color, and more. However, these will be used as suggestions rather than hard and fast rules. The important thing is that your collage speaks to you in a personal way and is an expression of who you are. I can’t wait to be a part of this experience !

Eileen loves to help students find their creative voices using a variety of mediums and enjoy that process each step of the way. She believes the creative process is one of exploring and trusting the process as it unfolds. Learning about color, line, composition, mediums and more, are also important so the student has that knowledge as they create. A relaxed, friendly and supportive environment in the classroom is fostered so students can have fun and ‘get lost’ in their
creations.
