Discover and explore a new and simple way of making collages in Make a Paper Grid Collage. In this class you’ll learn how to take different kinds of paper, from any source, and turn it into a geometric piece of art. There’s no need to hesitate when you have a blank piece of paper in front you and you’re not sure where to begin making an image. I’ll show you what to do.

You will learn what supplies to use, and also the elements of collage and preparing the background and the squares of paper. What’s great about these kind of collages is that you probably have some or most of the supplies you’ll need. Think office supplies rather than art store. I will show the steps to take to make a coherent and interesting image through choice of paper, images, and composition.

No matter what your background in art, whether you’re a novice or have experience, you can make a grid collage. Not only that, you’ll find that following these simple steps will yield interesting art.

The class project is to make at least one grid collage of your own. So be sure and post yours so we can all see it. Sharing our projects is a great way to get inspired and gather new ideas for future collages of our own. You'll find background templates and a supply list when you click on Project.
