Collage Art for Adults at the Fairfield Public Library

The
Art of Collage program at the Fairfield Public Library will allow you to tap
into your inner artist.  This program was
introduced last fall and by popular demand will continue on Saturday, January
25 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Memorial Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old
Post Road.  Anyone over 18 years of age
may participate in the program.  The winter/spring
series will continue on February 8, and February 22, April 5, April 19, May 10
and May 24.

Collage
is a form of art in which various materials such as photographs, pieces of
paper or fabric are arranged and adhered to a backing.  Unlike other art groups, this group is void
of still life and portraits.  There are
no watercolors, acrylics, markers or crayons. 
All you need is a willingness to get creative and the ability to cut and
glue.  At times the presenter will
suggest a prompt; however, most of the time you will be encouraged to listen to
that little voice inside you and collage what you hear.  Materials will be provided.  The first hour and a half will be devoted to
collage and the last thirty minutes you will share your work.
