Thank you so much for taking Collage as Art: Transferring Text and Images. I believe that art is a way to clear our minds of all the daily clutter and hopefully you were able to clear some of that clutter away today. Here are a few things to look at to explore what we did today and some other information.

GetSetUp has just released an update putting a link to the Feedback form on the learner’s Profile page in the My Class Notes section. The link to Give Feedback is beside each class you have completed. Please use the feedback form to let me know about today’s class or any art related topic you would like to learn.

I hope to see you again very soon. Create! -Deana

Ps. I have attached a step-by-step guide to transferring text and images
