10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

This workshop is inspired by the work of German Dada artist, Hannah Höch who was one of the originators of “photomontage” as an art form. The term “photomontage” implies recombining photographic elements to form an integrated new image. In this workshop, you will make collage figures made from a multitude of images and parts of images. These collage “modules” will to be overlaid on a separately constructed background. The juxtaposition of the composite figure on a made background allows for more control over the final composition. The workshop will cover various collage techniques, a discussion of how to select suitable subject matter, and a short presentation on Höch and her work.
