Expand the creative use of your images as you explore some of the many ways you can make new image-based works through photo collage and assemblage. This class is for photographers who want to experiment with how they can transform their images — whether they’ve worked with collage before or not. To help inform the new work you create, we’ll survey the history of photo collage and how its contemporary practitioners work with different techniques in their artistic practice. You’ll learn image transfer methods using gel medium, solvent, and tape transfer with inkjet and laser jet prints. Assignments will help you expand your contextual framework as you utilize both found and original images to create digital-only and physical 2D and 3D artworks. By the conclusion of the class, you’ll be on the road to creating your own photo collages from an informed and curious place.
