Guest artist, Velga Easker came to demonstrate her collage process to the Mixed Media and 8th grade art class, Wednesday, November13. Velga Easker explores the creative possibilities of the mundane discards of our throwaway culture by deconstructing materials such as canceled postage stamps, security envelopes, junk mail, produce tabs and coffee sleeves. She reassembles this seeming waste into collages which at times resemble traditional fabric quilts.
Students had the opportunity to explore and experience using coffee sleeves and cups to create original collages. Her work is found on her website: https://velgaeaskerart.com/
