<p>One person will receive a spot in <a href="http://www.reneepearson.com/classes/collage.html" target="_blank">Renee Pearson’s Collage 101 class</a><br />
3-weeks. Class began November 19.</p>

<p>Digital collage is all the rage. It’s the art of using a single medium, digital, to create the sense of a mixed-media work of art. While digital artists can learn a lot from the traditional collage process, we have a different set of tools that allow us to push the art form in a different direction. Collage 101 isn’t about mimicking the mixed-media process or reproducing a digital collage that’s already been completed. It’s all about developing the skills and techniques to produce your own unique digital collages.</p>
