Collage is a technique of an art production where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms or images, creating a new whole. Collage by its very nature involves selecting images and ideas from the abundance of images and experiences that surround and envelop us and constructing a narrative or response to those ideas.
A collage can include magazine or newspaper clippings, textiles, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to paper or canvas.
This is an opportunity to play with images, text and ideas to create artwork that creates connections between disparate images and ideas to express a feeling, tell a story - whatever you want! We will explore some examples of collage work done by masters of the technique to inspire you and then you will be invited to experiment and create using your own ideas. A range of images from a wide range of sources will be provided but you are encouraged to bring your own drawings, photographs or found imagery to use in your personal creations.
