Art 4 All: Collage

Enjoy adaptive and process-based art making where the emphasis is on the joy of playing with paper.

Kids will experience the joy of cutting, reassembling and gluing paper. Kids are invited to using their preferred method of cutting paper, whether be with scissors or by ripping it. We will play with the art of constructing images with found materials. Kids are encouraged to express their unique voices and visual language. Adaptive Activities allow for varied pacing and participation styles, prioritizing comfort, agency, and meaningful engagement.
