Learn principles of design while playing and experimenting with collage materials and techniques. Make collages with torn and cut shapes from paper and fabric, and create collage materials using ink, paint, and texture rubbings.

How can erasing bring a drawing to life? Explore Ezrom Legae: Beasts and study the artist’s expressive use of space and form. Then, experiment with drawing through erasure: practice shading on paper with graphite, charcoal, or Conté crayons, and use erasers to reveal depth. As you practice omitting detail and embracing distortion, both absence and line will shape the figures that emerge from your drawings.
