Art for All is a Fairfield Primary School Art Exhibition

The exhibition is over 3 days from the 6th to the 8th September 2024.

I will be showing collage and assemblage at the Gallery shop.  Here are a couple of the pieces that will be on display.  The woman sitting on the pineapple holding the yellow flower has a little stitching on it and the shakespearean woman is raised in 3D on a book cover called Shakespeare (it was old and damaged I don’t cut up just anything).  All three unique pieces will be in the gallery shop with another 14 pieces all of different sizes and subject matter.  Oops I almost forgot the hydrangeas are a painting on Arches watercolour paper.

Hope you will stop by and have a look at the shop as well as the larger exhibition.

Collage and Mixed Media Artwork

Here are three collage works made to a theme suggested by our group Melbourne Collage Meets.  The first prompt and image was wreath or circle, the second was dog and the third was Flinders Street Station (a famous Melbourne landmark).  The next two images are acrylic paintings on watercolour paper of hydrangeas with a little pencil work on them.

Our Melbourne Collage Meets group have now been meeting for a few years at a Fairfield Cafe and our newest group in Fitzroy North have been meeting for around 6 months.  The latest news is that a new group will be formed very soon, possibly in Ivanhoe or somewhere surrounding this area.  If you are interested please know these meetings are free, they are not workshops yet we do influence one another.  The only cost would be to buy a coffee and cake or similar to support the cafe we meet at.  More information can be supplied if you contact me.

 

Collage News – Melbourne Collage Meets

Our two groups are working beautifully making collage from books and magazines.  Our North Fitzroy group has grown and our Fairfield group is full.  As we meet in a coffee shop I don’t think we can push the kindness of the cafe owners with too many more papers flying around.  I would always be happy to help you to establish a group in your own area (if its not too far from me).  I don’t have to attend but would like to discuss how we work out what happens, themes, meeting place and times, experience of participants.  Please let me know in an email if you would like to discuss further.  We do not pay anything except of course buying a coffee and something to eat from the cafe (that is essential).  The cat below is really tiny approx 10cm x 4cm on watercolour paper.  The giraffe family and the girl with pigtails are approx 9cm x 12cm on wood backing.  These two are assemblages of found images, collage, pen, toys etc.  They needed polka dots.

I’m still teaching casual classes in painting,  collage and assemblage – let me know if you are interested.

If you have made any collage please send me a picture, especially if you have made to one of our themes.  Latest themes were tomato and a previous one that was difficult and easy was self portrait.  Good luck if you have a go.  This post is mainly about #melbournecollagemeets.  See more on instagram, if not following please do. 🙂  My insta is #annewarrenart.
