I love the accessibility of collage, and you will, too. No “I can’t paint/I can’t draw” objections. No fancy supplies needed. Scissors, glue, and assorted papers - soon you are creating real art. You will explore, experiment, and play as never before.

Our Collage Doodles Workshop welcomes artists of all skill levels, from beginners eager to explore their creativity to seasoned artists looking to expand their repertoire. It's a friendly and supportive environment where you can connect with fellow art enthusiasts, share ideas, and learn together.

Collage is one of the most popular and pervasive of all art forms. Long before Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque added collaged bits to their paintings, we can trace the origins of pasted papers back more than 400 years. Collage became the technique of choice in the 1960s and 1970s for anti-establishment protest, and in present day, it is practiced by millions of professional artists, makers, amateurs, and children. We’ll trace the history and popularity of collage and then introduce several artists around the world that continue to elevate collage to a fine art. We’ll explore a broad definition of collage and examine some of the techniques employed by a wide range of artists. German artist, Max Ernst, once stated “Collage is the noble conquest of the irrational, the coupling of two realities, irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane which, apparently does not suit them.” Come learn more about this fascinating art medium/genre and start seeing collage in a whole new way!

Collage artist and Collage-Lab founder, Kelly Schaub, is passionate about collage. These video presentations are based on a two-part lecture series that she created for her local art center. As a collage artist, it is important to educate other artists, future collectors, and lifetime learners about the medium and genre. Due to popular demand, this video presentation was created to make the information accessible to the broader online community.

PART 1 – HISTORY OF COLLAGE 

PART 2 – SURVEY OF CONTEMPORARY COLLAGE 

Enjoy lifetime access to these two video presentations (2 hours and 40 minutes), plus useful resources and links. Revisit the content anytime, like having a reference book on the shelf.

When words fall short, we turn to paper.

Landscapes of Letting Go is a workshop for anyone craving a creative release—a way to process, reflect, and rebuild through hands-on artmaking. Together, we’ll create abstract torn paper collages that reflect both what we’re carrying and what we’re ready to set down.

This isn’t about picture-perfect results. It’s about process.

We begin by painting and texturing our own papers using simple mixed media methods—designed to spark spontaneity and flow. Then we tear, arrange, and layer those papers into abstract landscapes that capture the mood, memory, or emotion you bring to the page.

Let go of perfection. Let go of pressure. Let go of needing to know what’s next.

We’re here to explore—and maybe breathe a little easier when it’s done.

What You’ll Learn:

•Mixed media techniques for making your own expressive collage materials

•How to work intuitively and emotionally with color, shape, and texture

•Composition tips for balance, movement, and contrast

•Creative ways to reflect and process through art

•A no-pressure approach to abstract collage that’s all about discovery

You’ll Leave With:

•A custom set of torn collage papers, made by you

•One or more abstract paper landscapes

•A few aha moments and a fresh creative spark

•Access to the full replay so you can revisit anytime

•The sense that you can let go—and still create something beautiful

Let the paper hold what your heart can’t carry alone.

This is a replay of a live workshop. You have immediate lifetime access to the workshop so you can revisit it anytime.

Come rip, layer, and reimagine—right alongside me.
