Biala-Inspired Collage

Instructed by Joel Adas

Registration REQUIRED.

All events are tentatively scheduled and may change. Please see the CMCL Events Calendar on our website, follow us on social media, and subscribe to our weekly eNewsletter for any and all updates.

In this class, we will look at the work of Janice Biala, a wonderful twentieth century painter with an amazing life. We will use her collage/painting “Blue Kitchen” from 1965 as a source of inspiration for a collage kitchen of our own. The loose areas of larger color and small objects that populate the kitchen are the perfect pairing for a fun combination of collage and painting.

Materials:

• Multi media paper, 9”x 12” or larger, two sheets would be ideal
• Scissors
• Glue
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Paint set, preferably acrylic or tempera, watercolor can work too
• 12”x12” square of cardboard wrapped in tin foil to be used as a palette
• Set of brushes, detail to 1” wide
• Cup for water

This is a 3-class series being held on Wednesdays 11am-12:30pm, starting June 14th:

• 6/14
• 6/21
• 6/28

All registrants are required to attend the first class of a series. If absent, your spot will be given to the next in line on the Waitlist.

About Joel Adas - I have been teaching painting, drawing, and collage to all ages for 30 years. I grew up in Highland Park, New Jersey but moved to Brooklyn, New York in the mid 1990s.  I’ve exhibited my paintings extensively in New York and abroad and throughout my years in Brooklyn continued to teach in schools and community centers. My basic approach is to combine art making with some art history and a sense of where certain ideas and approaches to art come from.
