Painted Paper Collage
Led by Jo Hall
In this course we’ll start by preparing papers for collages and go on to produce collage works from prepared papers and also from “found” and recycled papers (including discarded drawings, paintings and printed material).
Referencing the work of Matisse, John Piper, Max Ernst and Mark Hearld, and others we’ll explore several different collage techniques for making “pure collages” and “mixed media collages” embellished with drawing and painting media. Please bring your own materials and equipment as in the information below.
Please bring;
Acrylic paint and palette, brushes, water pots, pencil.
Alternatively use watercolour or gouache but papers prepared with these require more care for gluing.
Scissors, craft knife if you have one, newspaper, paper towel
Glue: acrylic medium, PVA, Mod-Podge or Pritt Stick
Glue brush, tweezers (useful for picking up small pieces)
Light-weight cartridge paper for prepared papers and support for the collage (any heavy-weight paper 300gsm or more, or mount board or similar). We’ll prepare painted papers from the cartridge paper and you may like to experiment with other papers for making prepared papers.
A small A4 cutting mat would be useful if you have one.
We’ll discuss the use of “found papers”, recycling drawings and paintings, addition of media like; crayon, pen lines, further paint etc. during subsequent weeks.
