Course Content
In our dynamic studio space, you'll dive into the expressive potential of collage using a range of modern techniques - from analog cut-and-paste to mixed media layering. You'll work with found imagery, vintage ephemera, textured papers, paint and typography to craft compositions that are both visually striking and conceptually rich.The course begins with guided projects to help you develop a strong foundation in composition, texture, contrast, and narrative. As you grow more confident, you'll be supported in creating your own original series - whether that's abstract explorations, surreal compositions, or visually poetic political art.
Throughout the course, we'll look at inspiring works by contemporary collage artists, engage in creative prompts, and experiment with scale, rhythm, and visual tension. By the end, you'll have developed your own collage language and a series of bold, expressive pieces.
