Collagraphy is a printmaking process that begins with gluing different materials and textures onto something stiff (like a wooden block). The surface is then inked or painted and then pressed onto paper to create a print. In this YAW, you'll use collagraphy to explore color and create patterns. About No Going Back LA: No Going Back LA is a collaboration between Self Help Graphics and Art, No Going Back LA, and the Lancaster Museum of Art & History. During this 3-day printmaking workshop, 7 artists were asked to create artwork that expresses what they've felt during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this exhibition, you see a range of emotions: anger, sadness, loneliness, hope, bliss, and awe of nature. The artists use line, visual texture, shapes, and patterns to express these emotions.

Keith Collins is an American artist who loves playing with texture to make bold artwork. He owns and runs his own business where he makes custom floor mats (for cars), rugs (for homes), and art tapestries (for businesses, museums, etc.). He has created 14 custom works just for Michael Jackson! What is especially interesting about Keith's work is that he creates everything by hand using little pieces of carpet. Sometimes his work is car-themed, and sometimes he gets inspired by popular icons or sports legends like Muhammad Ali. This YAW is inspired by Keith's use of scrap material and his method of combining different fibers to create inspiring, touchable artwork.

Today's YAW is inspired by MANIFEST STRUCTURES FROM THE IMAGINAL, a new body of work by artist Mela M. While the title of this work is a mouthful, the pieces represent how we as humans organize our lives, both physically (like walls and buildings), and mentally (like political divisions and social expectations). Mela M imagines that the way we live now will affect the future by forcing humanity to rethink how we do things in order to survive. A lot of her artwork is inspired by science and technology as well as dreams about living on other planets in outer space. For today's YAW, explore and experiment with creating your own type of colorful, layered structure.
