Paper is a wonder material. It makes an appealing surface for paintings and drawings, but it can also be cut, pasted, folded, and woven. Taking cues from the paper work of artists like Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Josef Albers, this online class will explore the possibilities of paper. We will make paintings, drawings, collages, weavings, 2D cut-outs, and 3D sculptures. Experiments and exercises will be supplemented with visual presentations of the paper works of modern and contemporary artists. We will use Padlet, an online “bulletin board”, for posting and discussing our work. Open to all levels, from the paper newbie to those already devoted to working with paper.
