Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Collage as Archive

This November, Drink & Draw dives into collage. Alongside our guest artists, attendees will explore various collage techniques using hand-drawn elements, found material, and magazines.

Guest Artist: Kelly Reaves

Collage arts can be traced back hundreds of years but made a novel entrance into the art scene during the early 20th century. A plethora of materials can be utilized in collage art such as: fabric, magazines, old artworks, and more.

For this Drink & Draw project, Kelly will be utilizing drawing materials, watercolor or gouache, stencils and some of her old art pieces to create a layered collage and invites attendees to work alongside her in this process. Kelly’s collage layering is intuitive, spontaneous, and utilizes organic shapes. In the end, her collage work emerges as an archive of left behind pieces that have been destroyed to make something new. This event is perfect for those who seek to breathe new life into old work, intuitively create, and learn a new, unique process for the art of collage. So, gather your left behind or abandon artworks, mark making materials, and anything else you desire to work with and join us to explore new methods of collage.
