Composing an Image: Collage a Visual Narrative

Unlock the secrets of great composition in this interactive collage workshop! Artist-in-residence, Jack Schofield, will discuss his artistic process, showing us how to bridge the gap between a raw idea and a polished effect using sketches, photos, and digital tools. We'll apply some of Jack's practices and techniques in our own collage making using different elements to tell a story and create flow using collage and drawing. Whether you are a painter looking to improve your layouts or just looking to get creative with paper, you’ll leave with a unique piece of art and a fresh perspective on design.

About the Artist:

Jack Schofield (b. London, U.K.) is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Primarily working with oil paint, Jack creates work around themes of intimacy and queer domesticity, representing both platonic and sexual intimacies simultaneously, as an ode to the “chosen family” structure of queer lives. Interested in creating work that feel like snapshots of an interior world with off guard subjects, Jack opens up paintings for the viewer to feel both a part of and estranged from, suggesting an intimacy the viewer isn’t directly a part of. He has completed residencies in California, and co-produces a yearly art and magazine release with other artists in L.A.
