Summer 2020 – Expanded Collage (Online)
Expanded Collage (Online)
Connie Zheng
4 Sessions >> Wednesdays, June 22 -August 12
6:00pm-8:00pm, Online, $195
Take your collage work to the next level by experimenting with scale, digital reproduction methods, moving image/video/film, and three-dimensional space. Additionally, students will be encouraged to play with large-format paper, mixed media, video, and installation. Lectures will also investigate the historical origins of collage as well as contemporary practitioners using assemblage as a primary visual language. Some collaging materials will be provided by the instructor, although students will also be expected to collect their own.
