This engagement invites participates to create their own Mojave desert-inspired trading card. Participants will choose between a selection of templated trading cards, each one depicting either a plant or an animal that lives in the Mojave desert – jack rabbit, pronghorn antelope, rattlesnake, Joshua tree, poppy flower, etc. The back of each card will contain information and statistics on the flora or fauna depicted. Once participants choose a card they will be able to artistically stylize the image of the plant or animal as they desire. Once the card is completed it will be put into a trading card acrylic case and a label with their name on it.

What do you see too much of in the landscape? What would you want to see more of? Join this workshop to explore your ideas through collage!

Collage is a way of creating a visual work of art by combining different elements – be they found images, patterns, bits of text, textured papers – in new and sometimes unexpected ways.

Channeling the spirit of Superstudio and their speculative collages of anti-architecture, this workshop engages with ideas of landscape and to share ideas with members of the community. From the mundane to the fantastical, you will be able to collage your ideas about landscape into a finished work of art.

This is a 2.5 hour workshop includes a short lecture discussion followed by a light critique of your finished work at the end of the session. This session is ideal for ages 13 and up.
