Supplies for class tomorrow

Dear Class

Sorry for the short notice on this folks. Do the best you can. There will probably be extra stuff so don't stress or feel like you have to spend a lot. Do this "cheap, like the budgey."

For tomorrow (we're going to make collages) I would like everyone to bring the following:

Metro Santa Cruz (free) or Newspapers

Scissors, exact-o knife will work too

Photos, torn out of magazines enough to cover a big sheet of paper.

Cut- out type-lettering, taken out of newspapers or magazines, take pages with words you find poetic, ironic, or beautiful or strange.

Text, same as above but you can grab the whole page of smaller text, select for tone of grey the text makes either light or dark

Glue stick, this is the handiest to work with, White glue will work too

Markers: any kind of magic marker to add some color to your work, crayons will do or colored pencil

Illustration board : anything stiff that will hold up to some glue-poster board if you can't find it I'll have something for you.

If you get a creative urge and want to bring in any substitutions follow your bliss ( i.e. fabric, foil, wall-paper, bits of fur feathers. what else? However, NO GLITTER!!! ask any stage manager why. ) There is really no formula for collage, right?

Any questions email me tonight.


Thanks Everybody!
