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.
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
