Venture beyond traditional landscapes and direct representations by embracing the transformative art of collage. Explore the eclectic world of collage, examining its rich history and the myriad ways it can be utilised to expand your creative horizons. From the pioneering works of historical figures to the innovative compositions of contemporary artists, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of collage as a powerful tool for artistic expression. Each week we will delve into one of the multifaceted approaches to collage - from manipulating composition to employing collage elements as your palette. Draw upon a rich tapestry of artists' works as our muse, setting the stage for a hands-on immersion into the art of collage. Engage in the tactile joy of selecting and assembling found images, each choice, a step towards crafting visually compelling images. This journey through varied collage methods will not only expand your artistic vocabulary but also bring a newfound depth and complexity to your creations. Some experience of drawing and painting is necessary.
