Adding some color

During my first semester of college I was introduced to collage. A teaching assistant in a painting class had told us to fill pieces of paper with color, rip them up and make collages. There was an insane snowstorm -people from MA who were there in 2011 will remember- and my school was evacuated because the power lines had been taken out. My hallmates and I piled into one of our hallmate’s cars, and stayed with her parents in Danvers, MA. I spent the time getting really into collage, and filled pages of my sketchbook. I like having something to do with my hands while I’m sitting around, and spent a long time making collages while watching movies. Here are some of the ones I made during  the snowstorm.

Made from pieces of paper painted with water color, and occasionally pen ink.
