Family Workshop: Self-Portrait Collage

Collage Family Workshop (1182 x 500 px)

 

Bond with your child (or grandchild!) on a creative self-reflecting journey at BG’s Family Workshop: Self-Portrait Collage! Designed for you and your special youngster ages 10 to 17, this workshop blends storytelling with art as participants explore their personal narratives through collage-making. Cut Paste Create artist and Los Angeles Times art director Susana Sanchez-Young will guide participants on how to piece together a self-expressive collage with insider knowledge from her 20-year career in visual journalism. No prior experience is needed—just bring an open mind and find inspiration in BG’s current exhibition, Cut Paste Create: The Art of Collage. All materials provided but participants are encouraged to bring photos of themselves, their favorite things, or anything else that represents them to incorporate in their artwork. Includes free entry to Cut Paste Create.
