WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION AND MATERIALS LIST
In this workshop, a photo collage is a narrative artwork with images
and words and tells a personal story about a subject.
Participants should plan their story in advance and ask the following
questions: Who is my subject? Why is the subject special to me? What
do I really want to say? What is the message I want to convey? The
subject can be a friend or relative. The context can be a celebration,
a special memory, or even a creative history, fantasy, etc.
The workshop will start with dialogue and samples of photo collage
that demonstrate various storylines, materials and design techniques.
Important design elements include: color, tone (light and dark), scale,
movement and repetition.
The workshop will include demonstrations of how to work with a variety
of 2D and 3D elements, and how to get them attached properly, cleanly,
and evenly without, tears, folds and bubbles.
Participants should bring items that relate to their subject: Multiple
photos and photocopies in black and white and in color and in a variety
of scales (large, medium and small).
Also bring: Papers, magazines and books, letters, envelopes, note
cards, postcards, lace, fabric, clothing, string, needle and thread,
sewing notions (tapes, etc), pencils, pens, crayons, paints and brushes,
stamps and stamp pads, block letters, stencils, press-on letters, etc.
Also bring paper towels, and heavy paper, canvas or wood substrate
(the backing for the photo collage).
Materials that will be provided: glues, collage tools, scissors, cutting
knives, etc. There will be handouts on collage technique and materials
and a bibliography of suggested books and websites on collage.
