COLLAGE
ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT
Collage is quite a unique way for the artist to express their feelings, ideas, and beliefs. Like traditional visual artists, a collagist's theme can range from controversial political issues to calm landscapes and nature scenes. Collage offers the artist tremendous liberty to use a variety of both dry and wet media. The students were given the option of addressing a social problem or creating a nature scene (ex. depiction of an animal) in collage. They were supplied with magazines, news-print, colored tissue paper, glue, polymer, and traditional drawing and painting media. D-8 students conceptualized and created original collage works that are both compositionally and socially compelling. More pieces to follow...
