Art in a (Shadow) box

On February 24, 2005, instructor Regina Stengel, assisted by Barbara Saunders, taught a class in which students created an artist-inspired shadowbox comprising a collage backdrop and their own collage/collectible materials.  Regina's expertise in framing techniques was put to good use.  The following are photos of a work in progress and two finished shadow boxes.  Click on the individual photographs for a larger view.  Click your browser's "Back" button to return to this page.

The background collage is an exercise in artistic placement of various printed materials, photos and papers.	The layout starts to come together as items are moved and added.
The finished work - a "cat"egorically pleasing design.	Natural materials on a monochromatic, textured paper background plus a little sand make this collage a serene reminder of a day at the beach.
