Workshop Highlights:
In this session, we will explore and play with the key elements of design: line, shape, texture, color, value, and space. Additionally, we will cover the principles of design that bring these elements together: balance, proportion, emphasis, and unity. Learn how to manipulate these elements and principles to create harmonious and dynamic compositions. We will also discuss various methods and styles of collage, offering a broad perspective on this versatile art form.
