NEW COURSE!
COMPOSITION + COLLAGE
Discover the highly creative realm of collage, while learning the art of visual composition. Using the elements and principles of design and colour to investigate compositional structures we will explore the varied possibilities of collage. We will investigate a wide range of approaches and styles to this art form, stimulating your imagination to discover creative possibilities.
In this practical course Deborah Marks will guide you through structured weekly exercises which involve exploring colour schemes as well as the elements, structures and principles of composition. Using the weekly brief as a planned structure, students are then encouraged to use their intuition and emotion to guide their decision making. The medium of collage allows for the combination of knowledge as well as intuition, chance and accident in the creative process to produce highly original and unique artworks. Techniques of collage will be explored and demonstrated. Individual guidance as well as group critiques will be given in order to facilitate the deeper understanding of this medium and its creative possibilities.
