For this art project I decided to create a varied materials collage.  Collage is so much fun because the materials to choose from are endless especially if you use recycled materials also. In this video I discuss the preparation for the project and the materials I have in mind.  I used two gallery boards and placed them side by side on my easel so that the planning of the project would seem to appear as one painting/collage.   This is referred to as diptych.  This makes it easier to plan the design and color of  both pieces.  Using acrylic paint, I first prepared the background using muted colors.

In this second video I discuss the progress of the collage and the different materials I used including many recycled materials.  The last video is a summary and discussion of the project, Be Creative – Varied Materials Collage.  It was a challenge to create two pieces at a time that co-ordinate but I learned a lot and am proud of the result.  The pieces are for sale and offered on this website or you can email me for more information, jan@jancwatford.com
