Description: Collage has been an influential component of modern art since the Cubists first pasted found papers onto their canvases in 1908. The deceptively simple technique affected almost every 20th century art movement including Constructivism, Dada, Surrealism, Pop, Situationism, and contemporary digital practice. This course traces the history of collage, assemblage, and montage through slides, films, and museum visitis. Students will be expected to maintain a consistent studio practice in collage and take part in class critiques and discussions.
