Dive into the creative world of collage in this hands-on and inspiring workshop for primary and secondary art educators. Participants will explore four expressive approaches to collage - paper, photomontage, digital, and mixed media, discovering how each can be used to foster creative thinking and personal expression in the classroom. Through practical demonstrations and guided experimentation, educators will work with a variety of tools, materials, processes, and surfaces to create a series of inspiring sample works.

The session highlights ways to scaffold collage-making for different year levels and abilities, and provides adaptable lesson ideas that connect to the curriculum while encouraging individuality.
