Here are some things for you to think about...

 

What/whom you are doing the mixed media/collage for?

• ​Your kids?

• Grandparents?

• A place?

• A time in your childhood?

​

Things to ponder:

• Favorite Colors?

• Foods?

• Toys?

• Outdoor Adventures?

​

Then, you can start collecting collage materials to bring to class:

• Pictures (or take them?) 

• Letters (from a loved one) 

• Numbers (your address?) 

• Logos (Starbucks? A Game?)

• Etc.

 

*** If you are concerned about using your original collage pieces, you can print them on a laser printer.

​

I would like you to pick out 2 or 3 colors. Colors that you (or whoever) would love! And I will show you how to mix them.

My client uses a Pinterest Board to gather her colors
