using photographs, creating collages on your projects
We are used to perceiving chaos as harmful, exhausting, and consuming our lives
and energy. But what if you spend two hours playing with chaos
and let it release your creative energy? What if you forget about rules, problems,
and tasks and give yourself time to enjoy creating with your own hands?
We invite you to master a new creative practice: collage.
What does the creative process look like?
You will learn the basic principles of collage,
how to work with kraft paper, how to cut and combine your creative ideas into a composition, where to look for free textures and backgrounds,
and how to combine photo fragments.
Collage in theory
We will delve a little deeper into collage techniques and the basics of composition and devote most of our time to creative practices.
Collage practice
We will take photos and collect images from which you will make your collages. Teachers will accompany you and help you build a composition and choose colors and textures.

Norbert Bec A photographer and videographer Norbert owns BecNorbert.com, an agency. ''I have always maintained that the difference between "something" and "that something" is soul. That's how it is in photography; everyone knows how to take pictures, but photographs require soul. Besides composition, lighting, and post-processing, you have to recognize each client's personality and give them what suits them best - his credo. |

Yes, the workshop program is designed for beginners. You will create simple compositions, and the teachers will help and advise you if something requires advice.
We have prepared craft paper for you, but it is also advisable to bring something personal (people usually keep photos from beautiful cities, postcards, tickets, road maps, stamps, leaves from trees, etc., as mementos).
Each lesson will last 2 hours. There are 5 workshops in total. Since the complexity of the collages depends only on you, you will be able to create one or two collages in one lesson, and by the end of the course you will have perfected all your projects.
