FAA Collage Workshop with Lenny Moskowitz

Activities, Events

Saturday, December 7th, 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM at Franklin TV, 12 Hutchinson St., Franklin, MA

“Through demonstrations and individual guidance, students of all levels will be introduced to using collage as a means of exploring landscape, still life and abstraction. The workshop is designed to create an image by transforming the subject into large shapes and simple areas of value and color. We will work with magazine pages collected for color.

Students will need scissors, a sketchpad, pencils, charcoal, magazines, glue or glue stick, necessary painting materials, etc. Acrylic painters will also need a spray bottle. An acrylic matte medium is recommended. If you don’t have something, then do not worry! I will be bringing supplies also.

I will have art books from which I will show several examples, and I will do demonstrations. The morning will consist of working on several small studies and exploring collage techniques. For subject matter bring images you are interested in – which may include previous art work of your own which you may want to develop further. In the afternoon we will be taking 1 or 2 of the morning studies to use as a basis for a more developed, finished piece.” Lenny Moskowitz
