while enjoying the play of creativity. See the Art League Store for materials list. |

| Thinking Inside the Box: Stories from Scrap Weekend Workshop |
| If you are inspired by the art of Cornell, Schwitters and Lenore Tawney, this
workshop will appeal to you. Participants transform a found box or drawer into
a low relief sculpture that tells a story by combining collage techniques,
Xerox transfer, and small collected objects into a piece of art that joins
collage with sculpture. Supplies needed: bring printed
imagery/photos, unusual papers, collected objects and a small wood or thin
metal box. A $5 materials fee is payable to the instructor. To prepare,
think about a theme or topic that you would like to express within the
box. To register go to www.theartleague.org. |
