Bauhaus Paper Collage

Inspired by the bold experimentation of the Bauhaus movement, this workshop  invites participants to explore color, shape, balance, and composition through the  art of paper collage.

The class is designed to be both relaxing  and creatively engaging, a chance to slow down, experiment with design, and  leave with a striking finished artwork inspired by one of the most influential art  movements of the 20th century. You may find that you also leave with a much deeper understanding of Bauhaus, its elements, characteristics and origins, due to your instructor Nadia’s superb course materials!

What You'll Learn

We will begin by looking at key Bauhaus principles and artists,  focusing on the movement’s use of geometric forms, minimal palettes, and playful  visual structure. 

Participants will then create their own abstract collage using a personalized four color palette, cutting and layering geometric shapes to build dynamic compositions  full of rhythm, contrast, and movement.
