In this hands-on eight-week workshop, students will be introduced to the materials and techniques needed to create their own collaged artworks. Final project artworks will be exhibited during the final eighth session, where a self-selected body of each student’s artwork will be displayed in an informal, social gathering and shared with friends, family, and the community. This exhibit is a public opportunity for participants in the program to discuss their own and others’ artwork and, perhaps for the first time, to see themselves as artists. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
