Creative Aging: Mixed Media Art Journals

Description

Artists will use paint, collage and assemblage to begin decorating the outside cover of an art journal. They will also explore a variety of techniques and materials to create tags, pockets, and a collage masterboard that can be later incorporated into additional page layouts of their journals.Artists are encouraged but not required to bring ephemera and small sentimental items to make their work more personal. These can vary and include family photos (or copies), notes/scraps from old cards, tickets stubs and theater or museum programs, catalogs for gardening or other interest areas, old keys, bits of lace or fabric and more.
