<ul><li>ArtMEETS: Expressive Collage</li><li>Facilitator: Saretta Khan</li><li>Saturday, August 17, 2024 |1:00PM - 4:00PM</li><li>St. Matthew's Clubhouse | 450 Broadview Avenue</li><li>Cost: $10-$40, pay what you can (PWYC)</li></ul> ABOUT THE WORKSHOPCreating meaningful collages using personal photographs and crafts is a wonderfully expressive art form that combines visual storytelling with personal reflection! In this workshop, participants will delve into the process of mixed media collage, assembling images and objects to create a narrative or evoke emotions. The workshop will include various materials, such as paint, ink, found objects, and photographs to create a single artwork. Throughout the workshop we will explore various mixed media techniques, such as layering, texture creation, image and blending to enhance the storytelling aspect of the collage. If time allows, there will be an opportunity to share our collages with the group, and tell the stories behind them. Participants are invited to bring their own personal photographs, copies of photographs, or other personal special items to be included in their pieces.*If you do not want to use original photographs, and/or you are unable to get copies of them printed to include in your collage, participants of this workshop are invited to email photos that they would like included in their collage piece to info@eastendarts.ca before Friday August 16th, 2024, and East End Arts will print out everything for Saturday’s workshop! ABOUT THE FACILITATORSaretta Khan Bangladeshi-Canadian born and raised in Toronto. Ever since being a child she has always been doing some form of art such as drawing and painting. She’s heavily influenced by her mother who is also an artist/painter. Her mother recognized Saretta’s talents at an early age and allowed her to explore and discover her passion for art. Currently, Saretta is a multidisciplinary graphic designer/artist who recently graduated from an advanced graphic design program at George Brown. She is also teaching art for The GEM (Giving Education Meaning)community program which allows her to introduce the wonders of art to students with learning disabilities. Her goal is to facilitate an inclusive space for them to express their creativity. She has also completed several SKETCH residency programs where her art work was published. Additionally, she’s on the roster for facilitating the workshop for ‘Art Salon.’ Moreover, during her spare time Saretta enjoys doing a broad range of art mediums for work, and advancing her skill level through online workshops and experimenting. She’s still discovering her art ‘style’ as she explores a plethora of opportunities that cross her path.
