The term collage is from the French verb coller, meaning "to glue." Throughout art, film and literature of the twentieth century we regard the process of making collage an aggregate of ideas, materials and textures; a work composed of both borrowed and primary material. The assembled information produces a montage that permits meaning to slip the metaphoric conventions of a unified surface and linear logic. This studio, through analog and digital processes, examines several stations in which collage creates patterns that address social, political, and psychological conditions. The prerequisite for this studio is two from the following ArtS 200 level studios: painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or video. Familiarity with a Macintosh platform and basic skills in Photoshop is expected. Enrollment limit: 10.
