Other information
Whether you’re new to collage or a seasoned hand, come and join our U3APP Collage Club. Unlock your creativity through the simple art of collage. All you need is a glue-stick, scissors and a sense of humour and curiosity. Kym will be the guiding hand that brings those things together to create art you can take home.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Ability to use scissors and a glue stick (both are supplied).
- Students to supply their own unlined A5 or A4 visual arts diary.
- Please bring to class any personal papers you want to collage with, but there are many magazines supplied (and a few specialty papers).
TUTOR: For most of her life, Kym thought artists were just lucky people who were born knowing how to draw. Ever since she discovered drawing was a skill you could actually learn, she’s been throwing herself into art classes with a passion.
Attending public programs at the National Art School in Sydney led by professional artists, she has studied drawing, painting, printmaking, paper-making and paper sculpture. She has exhibited her work at several private shows. She fell for collage after attending workshops by Melbourne artist Minna Gilligan and loves every aspect of it, from the cutting and glueing, to the curious results it can produce.
Kym reckons everyone has a creative streak and now she wants to foster creativity in others. She’s also interested in environmental sustainability, which makes upcycling materials through collage a perfect fit for her. Throughout her working life, Kym was a writer and publicist. Last year she turned her hand to teaching, starting out with a collage workshop in South Melbourne and with not for profit community based organisation, Laneway Learning, in Melbourne’s CBD, as well as running collage courses at U3AP
