Collage as Symbol

Join Artist Carol Jazzar for this workshop at Oolite Arts on Lincoln Road! 

Collage is a technique of creation that results from an assemblage of different images to create a new image. In this workshop, participants will be invited to create collages as a way to explore their inner selves, as a way to let the subconscious express itself, which is the premise of the surrealist movement. 

Therefore, it will be a journey of self-discovery through each’s own creative process. 

We will be focusing on the original technique of papier collé, using only paper to make your own masterpiece. At the end of the session, there will be a review to learn about each other’s final work; constructive critique may be shared. 

Given the proximity to the holidays, we will be making handmade holiday collage cards for those who want.

All materials are included. No previous experience is necessary. 

Classes must meet a minimum enrollment number to run; please don’t wait until the last minute to register! 

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Carol Jazzar is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in El Portal. She started making collage in 2012 as a means of inner exploration and self-development. This practice has been a creative path allowing her to practice self-analysis and to experience personal and artistic goal. In 2023, she published a book titled All (W-hole) of Me, healing through Art, the art of deconstructing and recreating oneself,  featuring her latest collage series as well as a conversation with Lacanian psychoanalyst Karina Tenenbaum, and two essays; one by curator and art historian Tami Katz-Freiman, the other by M.Keely Sutton, a historian specializing in Hinduism. Her work demonstrates a unique inquiry into the creative impulse and its processes.
