• Intermediate
  • Mixed Media

This course is intended for students who have successfully completed Collage Explorations 1 and for those who wish to continue their explorations. Students will work with a wide range of found materials. This course is structured thematically, with a series of projects based on one or more topics for exploration. Some of the past investigations include fairytales, mapping and cities and the sensory body. Students can choose to work on structured assignments or in a self directed way with a view towards developing a cohesive body of work. Throughout the course, reference will be made to the history of collage and assemblage as well as to the role of this art form in contemporary practice. These references will inform and enrich art making, dialogue, and discussion. Intermediate Level Course

In Fall 2020, this course will be offered in 2 Parts - each 5 weeks long. These courses can be taken as stand alone courses or Part 2 can be taken as a continuation of Part 1. We will be working with 2 or more themes in each section, such as together yet apart, isolation, repetition, decollage and distress.
