Art Parts: A Mixed Media Collage Framework
Make Collage Art Easier, More Creative, and More Fun with Art Parts!
If you’ve ever made homemade baby food, you know it’s a process: chop, cook, blend, and store. That’s a lot of steps—which is exactly why so many people buy it pre-made. Cooking from scratch is rewarding, but it takes time and effort.
Art is the same way. Every mixed media collage involves a series of steps: gathering materials, experimenting with techniques, making decisions, and refining your composition. It can feel overwhelming to start from scratch every time.
But what if you had a shortcut—without sacrificing creativity?
That’s where Art Parts come in. Think of them as the mise en place of art-making—the way chefs prep ingredients in advance so they can focus on cooking, not chopping onions at the last minute. When you have a stash of pre-made collage elements ready to go, the process of making finished artwork becomes smoother, easier, and way more fun.
What You’ll Learn in This Class:
✔ How to create and organize your own Art Parts—painted papers, textures, embellishments, and more.
✔ The best ways to use Art Parts to eliminate decision fatigue and boost creativity.
✔ How to analyze artwork (yours or artwork you admire) to make sure that you’re creating Art Parts that will work for you.
✔ How to break free from first ideas and create more dynamic, layered collages.
✔ Techniques for working improvisationally — letting go of expectations and creating unexpected, exciting compositions.
Just like a well-stocked kitchen makes cooking effortless, a well-stocked stash of Art Parts makes your collage process easy and enjoyable.
