To Collage or not to Collage!
Collage is an unsung hero in the arena of making — it can be an incredible editing tool, great for testing ideas on canvas’, works on paper, or as a visual medium within itself. It is highly accessible and can be great fun in terms of experimenting with various media and quickly trying various compositional ideas without committing immediately. During this class, students will have the opportunity to experiment in all areas, from making a still life just using collage; to using as a way to see other solutions to works of their own that might feel incomplete, to building works using found images (either their own images or ones sourced from magazines, online etc.).
