Step into the world of photomontage collage—an artistic practice that blends images from various sources to create entirely new and imaginative works of art. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn how to transform pictures found from books, magazines and anywhere else you can find them into striking, thought-provoking visual compositions.
What Is Photomontage Collage?
Photomontage collage involves cutting, assembling, and layering images from different sources to create a single cohesive piece. Artists often use this technique to convey surreal, abstract, or symbolic narratives that challenge the viewer’s perception. It’s a highly expressive and creative form of art that encourages experimentation with both imagery and meaning.
What You’ll Learn:
During the workshop, you will be introduced to:
Essential Tools: Scissors, craft knives, cutting mats, and adhesives.
Image Sourcing & Selection: How to find compelling images in books and magazines to suit your creative vision.
Techniques for Layering: Explore how to overlap and blend images to form depth and dimension.
Composition & Balance: Discover how to arrange images in a visually pleasing or intentionally disorienting way.
Text & Imagery: Learn how to combine text with your images to convey messages or create contrast.
