Collage Research Links
You will be working with collage as a primary means of creative production for this course. I think hands-on activities is a great way to engage students in an understanding and awareness of visual art and the artistic process. Collage is the most accessable and democratic method for making art, plus it can be fun, even easy!
Here are some research tools for you to explore. Please review all information/videos carefully. You will be given an assignment about the information in these links.
