Iconic Collages
Media: Mixed media, acrylic,
watercolor, pencils, inks, glues, found and made papers.
Preliminary Project: Skill Development (60 points)
A.
Using the techniques discussed
by artist Anne Bagby, make ten sheets of collaged and stamped pattern paper
ranging in complexity.
(all due
dates are at the beginning of class unless otherwise noted)
Project #3: “Leaders of Glue” (100 points)
Basic Description: Using
found and made resources create a collage portrait of a famous or infamous
character in today’s media. This can be a political or entertainment
personality. Be sure to add an appropriate amount of depth, which may include
making collage papers from news articles or creating minor environments that
support your message.
A.
Spend at least a week creating
and mining supplementary collage materials and finding a suitable character of
which you are adequately knowledgeable. Bring in magazine and newspaper ads or
anything that you may want to include in your collage. (research, research,
research)
B.
Using one of the two collage
techniques given in class (Anne Bagby or Marjorie Pesek) begin two 10 x16”
collages simultaneously. Put some consideration behind presentation early on.
You may want to tape these papers to a board to help prevent buckling and or to
give you a nice edge.
C.
Explore collaging, printing
and glazing techniques for your work.
D.
Likenesses of your characters
should come from photo references that will be blown up or down on the Xerox
machine.
E.
Make sure
the visual patterns and textures are clear and subordinate to the whole (not
confusing or upstaging with the form).
