ART 2340 - Collage: Process and Ideation

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Art

Description:

This course examines various facets of collage while considering the playful, paradoxical, subversive, formal, and critical potential of the medium. An inherently democratic art form, collage offers accessible, adaptable, and egalitarian approaches to image construction. This course examines the history and traditions of collage from image construction to a mode of critical discourse. We will examine and implement various collage techniques ranging from the absurdist strategies of the Dadaists to contemporary practices including digital and handmade approaches while delving into what it means to appropriate and transform found visual material. We will also employ collage as an idea generating mechanism in the production of drawings and paintings executed in each student's medium of choice. Slide presentations, research, and readings are meant to enrich the studio experience while encouraging students to become stronger producers and consumers of their visual worlds. Depending on medium of choice, credit may be earned towards Drawing Fundamentals or an upper level requirement in drawing, painting or other 2D elective. This may not take the place of Principles of Painting. This class will be offered online, no lab fee. Students will be required to purchase their own materials.
