COLLAGE: Extending the Medium
BRIEF: The exercise in this lesson can be viewed as a sequel to the series of works created in the previous lesson. As a way of extending your interpretive skills this exercise requires that you develop one or more of the collage piecesyou completed in the first lesson by reinterpreting it in a medium of your own choice.This broadening of the original work may also include collage fi you wish but predominantly the work is to be reinterpreted with a totally new medium.Drawing, painting and mixed media are all worthy options but please don’t let time restrictions desist you from being more ambitious if you see the potential for your original collage works to be reinterpreted in three dimensional form or filmic sketches.
Within its often-‐minimal approach collage allows the artist to dissolve many inessential elements and in doing so provides the most direct method for interpreting perceptions and everyday experience. This very direct approach to creating collage can also be used as a basis for discovering new associations when re-‐interpreted through other mediums. The broadening of cut-‐up collage technique into another medium can often bring one to a closer understanding of a certain subject matter.
