Collage

Collage has been an important approach to making art (and music, poetry, literature, etc) for a long time. 

In this unit, explore making images by combing elements (parts of images, textures, typeface, writing, drawing, fabrics, painting) to create cohesive and expressive works. 

How can you make it personal to your observations, ideas, feelings? 

Note how the samples create a kind of environment and narrative, rather than a simple catalog of topics. Note, too, that it is helpful to have a unifying image or element that ties everything together in a piece. See Assignment details for technical tips. Works below are by Robert Rauschenberg, Martha Rosler, and other artists.
