The Art of Photo Collage: Enhancing Creative Practice
Sharon Harper, Suzannah Saylor
Tuition $1,425
Code P0308-25
This collage workshop invites participants to push boundaries and take creative risks using photographic materials and methods. With an emphasis on exploration and rigorous artistic practice, participants challenge traditional representations by cutting through the expected and reimagining new visual contexts. Collage, with its rich history of "subverting the frame," becomes a tool for experimentation as participants work from their own photographic archives and build new ones from found materials. Through hands-on exploration, students dive deep into their personal creative processes while developing strong thematic visual ideas. Using Anderson Ranch's state-of-the-art facilities, participants experiment with both traditional collage techniques and modern tools such as machine cutting, scanning, and printing.
