MIXED MEDIA AND COLLAGE
Deborah Marks
Course Description
This course introduces students to the expressive possibilities of mixed media and collage.
Participants will explore layering, texture, found materials, image transfer, and composition
while developing a personal visual language. Each week combines demonstrations,
practical exercises, and independent work.
Course Outline
This 8-week course introduces students to the creative possibilities of mixed media and
collage. Through a series of practical studio sessions, participants explore a range of
techniques including layering, texture building, colour relationships, image transfer, and the
integration of drawing and paint with collage. Students experiment with a variety of
materials such as printed imagery, found papers, textiles, and painted surfaces while
learning how to combine these elements into cohesive compositions.
Each week focuses on a specific aspect of mixed media practice, beginning with an
exploration of painted papers and foundational collage techniques. Then gradually
expanding into more complex approaches to image, texture, and narrative.
Demonstrations, guided exercises, and studio work encourage experimentation and the
development of individual ideas. The course concludes with the creation of a resolved
artwork and a group discussion reflecting on the creative process.
