Mark Eanes Academy

Let me start by saying that this has been an absolutely wonderful journey through your demonstrations and fabulous historical slideshow. I feel so inspired and have ended this series of videos with a list of many projects and ideas for what I want to create and what I want to play with. For years, I have worked with layers of cloth and papers and never thought of myself as a collage artist. After this fabulous mini course, I am so inspired to dive deeper into playing with collage, and owning my inner collage artist. Thank you for creating this offer. So well done. And I would like to encourage you to create more mini courses.

This short and compact course is such a good reminder of what I am doing in my studio! Very inspiring and great teaching of Mark and Marija! Thanks so much for your insides and advice and knowledge!

Thank you so much Mark and Marija again for an inspiring and content filled mini course. I can hardly wait for the Abstract course in the future! As always, your inclusion of art history is such an important supplement in the process of making our own art (I guess that's why I was a double major in studio art and art history way back when). I have taken several online art courses during the pandemic and post pandemic in continuing my art education, but your model is so superior to the subscription models which are usually only available for a brief time. I know that I'm not the only one who appreciates lifetime access to the material, and being able to pay up front without getting into a typical subscription situation. Thank you both again for your time, passion, and commitment. Wendy Ketchum

The joy is I can revisit the class again and again. Something new to see and learn each time.

Your 'mini' course has been wonderful for me, to see your techniques - adhering the pieces (I have only used a glue stick which is okay but does not always leave a piece looking finished). The course is highly suitable for someone who is already an art maker like myself or for any beginner who has never made a collage piece. It is very cohesive, comprehensive and enjoyable! Mark, I also love quotes! The dialogue between the two of you enriches this course -the questions you pose and answer. So thank you so much! I knew after finding you, that this would be a good course. I also share in your likes of certain artists but you have also exposed me to many who I was not familiar with. So thank you again and I shall stay tuned in to your academy, your social media and future courses!

I have so enjoyed the journey through your collage demos, historical context... and so much more besides. I will look forward to your plans for 2025, in anticipation of more opportunities to learn with you. Best wishes Sarah

I enjoyed every minute of this course which is filled with tips on materials, techniques and process. Mark’s demos are engaging as he shares each stage of decision making including ways to begin, embracing the element of surprise and working through challenges along the way to an original and strong finish. Both Mark and Marija effectively explain the how and the why with artistic knowledge and an obvious love for teaching. The extensive history of collage module was a nice bonus. I feel very inspired and look forward to future courses with you both.

It was exactly what I hoped it would be. So much useful information and wonderful hosts!
