ART 219 Collage

Despite its pre-modern roots, collage was born out of the quick development of modernist art of early 20th Century. Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Kurt Schwitters, and Hannah Hoch, to name just a few, used pasted scrap papers to enhance the textures, forms, and concepts of an image. This introductory studio course explores the potential of the cut and paste medium to develop illusionistic and symbolic two-dimensional constructions for the traditional and applied artist within a contemporary practice. Prerequisite(s): ART 110 or permission of the instructor. Six hours studio. Course fee: $20. Fall. 3 hour(s).
