Whimsical or serious, personal or universal, collage is a highly versatile and accessible art technique that results in the playful combination of different and sometimes unlikely materials.
In this workshop, students are introduced to the materials, tools, and technologies used in collage. They find inspiration in artists who worked in collage including Joseph Cornell, Romare Bearden, and Gertrude Green, whose works are held in Smithsonian collections. Students express their observations by developing their own collage project.
Structured for both the nonartist and professional, this class focuses on the variety of choices in this medium. Whether constructing a piece of personal history through use of mementos or one of abstract design, students learn through experimentation with color, form, and design. They explore the use of text, images, texture, and natural and found objects as they create artworks.
