…thanks to Anne Marie Grgich for her inspirational collage project
Part three of Carla Sonheim’s Year of the Collage features artist Anne Marie Grgich. Our first assignment involved obtaining three vases, piles of coloured thin paper and a glue stick. The paper was to be sorted by colour and cut into large and small pieces.
When everything was assembled we were to attach similar pieces around the vase using a numbering system. The pieces were attached and burnished with a glue stick and your hands.
I did most of this assignment up at the cottage. It was very mediative. The first layer is complete on two of the three vases and now I have to wait for the next lesson to find out what the next step is.
Here are the three vases that I picked up at Value Village.
And here are the vases after the first layer of collage.

I love your art projects! Looking forward to seeing where this one takes you 🙂
In the background on the wall are 2 painting stacked on each other. I’m very intrigued by the one on top which appears to be 2 Picasso-like faces. Is this one of yours?

Yes it is. I was in Amsterdam when I painted this. There was a gallery next to an outdoor cafe that we enjoyed and the artist who owned it offered one on one classes for people who wanted to paint. I spent a glorious two or three hours painting in her studio and ended up with that painting.

I love this! Coincidentally I just finished a piece of Picasso-like faces and am working on a second one inspired by my visit to the McMichael and the art by Daphne Odjig.

I might as part of my September wrap-up. I haven’t decided yet what that post might look like.
