Holiday Scene Collagraph Print Class (ages 8-14)

In this special
holiday themed class, students will learn how to construct a collagraph
plate, making use of various textures and techniques. They will also
learn how to properly ink their plate and roll it through our printing
press! Our theme is "a holiday scene," which could be a cozy indoor
scene by the fire or a snowy nature scene, a snowman, or a Christmas
tree. Students will make multiple prints, donating one to the center for
our holiday display in the lobby. Their work will be up from
mid-November until early January for everyone at the center to enjoy!

Instructor
Art
educator Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate degree in art history and
English literature from the University of Kansas, as well as an MAT
(Masters in the Art of Teaching) from the English Department at the
University of Montana. In her own practice, Jen is equally invested in
understanding the larger world through her interactions with the art
objects of others and the making of her own art objects. Jen considers
her greatest strengths as an educator to be the facilitation of
reflective and critical conversations about art and art making, as well
as the creation of safe environments for authentic explorations into the
practices of self-expression and making. Her preferred mediums are
mixed media, printmaking, and photography, but she enjoys the act of
creation no matter the medium and considers it one of her greatest joys
to make art alongside others.
