Image Workshop

To begin with this project, first of all I did some research on artists that make collages, like Alan Fletcher, John Heartfield, Richard Hamilton, Martha Rosler, Eduardo Paolozzi, Sara Fenelli. After doing a bit f research, I managed to cut a 100 pieces of A6 card out of the paper that I had at home. Then I gathered all the material that I had been collecting since we were given this project and some that I had before. But before starting the project, I thought it would be helpful if I could look up what a collage really means, so I looked up for collage in the dictionary and the meaning of collage in the Oxford dictionary is “The art of making a picture by sticking pieces of coloured paper, cloth, or photographs onto a surface. I didn’t quite like that definition as I wanted to use materials other that as well; so then I looked up for the definition on http://www.thefreedictionary.com which was “An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and colour.” According to this definition one can use objects other that paper, cloth and photographs as well. So now I am going to start making my collages with a hope that they turn out out very well.
