Exploring Mixed Media and Collage Art
For those interested in experimenting beyond traditional art forms, ARTIS offers workshops in mixed media and collage. These sessions allow participants to create art by combining materials like paper, fabric, and found objects. Mixed media encourages thinking outside the box, perfect for enhancing creativity and understanding texture, layering, and composition.
