One definition of "collage" - a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing.
You answered the question! Both suggestions are good, although I lean towards the first. This solves how to promote the class without losing a friend who happens to see only in rigid black and white in this area. You found a way to not put a wedge in the friendship by being respectful of the friend’s shortcomings/weakness.
