Collage Basics is an online class created by the Mary Green, a well-respected collage artist, after she received multiple requests for an online collage course about the basics of composition and paper collage.
Mary says, "You may be a painter, fabric artist, scrapbook-er or brand-new to art...if you'd like to learn about vintage collage, this course is for you. If you've ever tried to fit components into a pleasing design and been frustrated with the results, or if you find yourself 'adding one more piece' in an effort to balance a design, let me show you an easier way."
Mary teaches that composition is possible to learn, even online. Her course provides guidelines that will help you work with placement, size, colors, and all of the details that go into a pleasing composition. "Learning those basics will help you in any art you might create, from fabrics to photography," says Mary.
You'll learn the fundamentals of collage and composition in Collage Basics, which relies on the use of vintage paper. "I'll share basic techniques and tools for use in any paper art, as well as ideas about working with and collecting vintage papers," Mary adds.
"Like all of my courses," Mary concludes, "you'll receive a generous collection of vintage images, backgrounds and patterned papers, ready-to-print and use. There's no need to already own vintage supplies, and you'll have access to every image and paper I use in the class examples - you can follow along exactly as I create, or use the images in your own way."
