Gleaning: Studio Approaches to Collage
As a studio practice, collage is pretty new—just over a century old. This workshop will offer analog experiences using collage, some of which will be based informally in its early history, including vivid works by artists such as Hannah Höch and Max Ernst. We’ll cover cutting and gluing techniques, but a productive collage practice is not necessarily based on manual skills. Our principle goals will be experimentation, the development of personally expressive work using found imagery, and an understanding of the unique ways found imagery communicates. All levels.
