About the workshop:
What can you do with a pile of old comic books, used books, magazines and newspapers? You’ve got endless possibilities to create a collage!
In this 2 hour art workshop, you’ll learn how using pre-existing imagery can be a great starting point for your art making. We’ll cut out and collect images that attract our eyes and imaginations then find different ways to combine them into new ideas, connections, characters or compositions. By the end of the two hour workshop, participants will take home their finished artwork.
This workshop is useful for:
- Well-being and mindfulness
- Exploration of the creative process
- Communal art making
All required materials will be provided by CAMH on the day of the workshop. Preregistration
is required as space is limited per group. No experience necessary.
