Collage artist Kostmayer starts her introduction to collage by presenting samples of different kinds of collage, and then moving into surface preparation, elements of value, color and texture, balance, compositions, variety of papers, textures, adhesives for different papers, elements of design and principles of design.

Students begin by trying their hand at a value study exercises and a few low-risk test runs that don’t involve gluing down the paper. Once you feel ready to commit to a final design, work through the steps of creating a collage, start to finish.
