Collage Techniques 2D Imaging Fall 2010 Assignment 4 - Multiple Image Compositing/Collage Objective: Preparation for Character Development via Serial Imagery and an exploration of Dada Character Development may refer to: The change in characterization of a dynamic character, who chang- es over the course of a narrative. Create 3 self-portraits that are a collage of 2 or more faces. Include numerous other images. Derive ideas for these support ele- ments using an idea map. Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photo- graphs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through image-editing software. This latter technique is referred to by professionals as “compositing”, and in casual usage is often called “photoshopping”.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Photomontage Collage A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty. The term collage derives from the French “coller” meaning “glue”.[1] This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collage Serial Imagery Serial imagery is a central idea of mod- ern and contemporary art. The Impressionists and their contemporaries were the first to use it, for example Claude Monet in his Poplars, Haystacks or Rouen Cathedral. Hmm...not much on that one.

Or non-movement, as it were. * Dada had only one rule: Never follow any known rules. * Dada was intended to provoke an emotional reaction from the viewer (typically shock or outrage). If its art failed to offend tradi- tionalists, Dada writing - particularly Tristan Tzara’s manifestoes - proved a fine, nose-thumbing Plan B. * Dada art is nonsensical to the point of whimsy. Almost all of the people who created it were ferociously serious, though. * Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism. * There was no predominant medium in Dadaist art. All things from geometric tapestries to glass to plaster and wooden reliefs were fair game. It’s worth noting, though, that assemblage, collage, photomontage and the use of ready made objects all gained wide acceptance due to their use in Dada art. * For something that supposedly meant nothing, Dada certainly created a lot of offshoots. In addition to spawning numerous liter- ary journals, Dada influenced many concurrent trends in the visual arts (especially in the case of Constructivism). The best-known movement Dada was directly responsible for is Surrealism. * Dada self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming “acceptable”. http://arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/dada.htm Victorian era photomon- tages Kurt Schwitters http://homepage.ntlworld. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dav- com/davepalmer/cutand- epalmer/cutandpaste/schwitters.html paste/intro.html Raoul Hausmann http://paperstreetsupplies.com/art-and- artists/dada-collage-photomontage-by- raoul-hausmann/ Research Surrealism and ZINES Neo Dada and Pop Art Works by Robert Rauschenberg “I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly because they’re surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make By akamundo them miserable.” http://www.zazzle.com/akamundo http://www.pbs.org/wnet/ americanmasters/episodes/ robert-rauschenberg/about- the-artist/49/ Works by Eduardo Paolozzi http://www.art2invest.co.uk/ pop-up_images/elvis.htm.

  • Assemblage Art Made from “Throwaways”
    Assemblage Art made from “throwaways” Art has been created from cast-off materials since art has been in existence. Certain artists are drawn to making something out of what would generally be considered nothing — taking what most people would view as useless and arranging it in an artistic manner, or placing it with traditional materials or in a particular setting that elevates it from junk to art. Art created in this manner is often referred to as “assemblage” and endless varieties of it exist.

This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • African American Assemblage Art in Los Angeles
    Recovering the Rubble: African American Assemblage Art in Los Angeles by Paul Von Blum, J.D. Senior Lecturer, African American Studies and Communication Studies University of California, Los Angeles [email protected] Los Angeles is the site of the Watts Towers, perhaps the most famous example of folk art in the world. Simon Rodia’s constructed his majestic towers from steel pipes and rods, wrapped with wire mesh, and decorated with such found objects as bottles, scrap metal, sea shells, broken glass, pottery fragments, and bits of ceramic tile. Known to millions of Southern Californians and countless visitors, the Watts Towers are the quintessential example of recovering rubble and turning it into majestic works of art. But fewer people, including scholars and professional art historians, are fully aware of how Rodia’s monumental achievement helped catalyze an artistic renaissance that has stunning implications for the African American creative community well into the 21 st century. Since the mid-1960s, African American artists in Los Angeles have been unusually imaginative in developing artistic products enabling them to achieve widespread critical recognition and respect. In the face of continuing barriers from mainstream institutions, including major museums and commercial galleries, many of these artists have used nontraditional materials and forms to create a growing legacy of visual art that has brought them national and international visibility. Several prominent African American artists used the Watts rebellion of 1965 as a key catalyst for their collective artistic vision. Even before the smoldering remains of Watts and surrounding black neighborhoods disappeared from national consciousness, artists Noah Purifoy, Betye Saar, John Outterbridge, David Hammons, John Riddle, and others collected and transformed objects and materials into powerful artworks that often expressed trenchant anti-racist social and historical commentary.

  • Multiple Image Compositing/Collage and Serial Imagery
    2D Imaging Fall 2011 Project 1 - Multiple Image Compositing/Collage and Serial Imagery Project 1: Create a series of self-portraits or of a subject study that are a collage or composite of several images. Include numer- ous other images. Derive ideas using idea maps and charts (see last page). The way the images of your series change, may serve to heighten the message/meaning. Your final iteration will be printed on the large format printer. Keep your resolution at 300ppi. Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photo- graphs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through image-editing software.
