Do/did you love collage?

[NYC_SKP]

I LOVED collage...In art class or social studies, I loved it as a student and I loved it as a teacher, an my students loved it as an alternative way to present their opinions and ideas.

Enquiring minds want to know ...

Bake

6. She's have to turn around

to be sure.

:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

7. Oh, you know her.

She's my muse. ;)

[Inchworm]

10. She has that Calamity Jane aura

and I do know that one ;)

:hi:

[Heidi]

11. She'd look great in a

French maid outfit, huh bubba? :*

[Inchworm]

14. It's really the hat, the hair...

and that inner thigh that does it for me :P

[NYC_SKP]

5. THAT is an excellent and provocative example!

The image, the ticket "Admit One", and the story, with the specific words that show through, WOW!

And the composition as a whole, I love it! :loveya:

A great piece, I hope you've had exhibitions of your work, or publication.

Have you?

[Heidi]

8. In fact, I do have regular exhibits.

But my main reason for posting was to give you a :* .

Here's one of my favorites, another from my "goddess" series, now in a new home. The little girl is my mother-in-law. :)


Helvetia at Eight
12 x 12 cm
Mixed media on prepared paper
Materials: Enlarged, transferred 1909 love letter (German),
Japan paper, lacquer based ink, drawing ink, Talens acrylic paint,
vintage family photo (1945), vintage postcard ("Luzern mit Pilatus," date unknown)

13. I could just look at these all day in wonder.

These pieces are so rich with bits of time and history.

There are so many more dimensions than one finds in even a great watercolor or oil.

If I entered a gallery full of them, I'd never leave, I'd just be there for hours and hours.

And, awww, thank you for the :* !

:hug:

2. Reckon I shoulda tried it

I was doing a mental collage trying to understand what this had to do with skool.

I should have paid more attention in spelling class :P

:thumbsup:

9. There are no rules in collage.

That's what makes it so kool!

I did it at ages 8-10 in Saturday art classes with pre-hippie art teachers, we just used found objects and cut out whatever we wanted.

Later we did it in middle school, in the early seventies.

As a teacher of at-risk youth, it was very liberating for students to not be bound by conventions of the "five paragraph essay", so it was a very accessible form of communication ideas for them.

:thumbsup:

12. I read up on it a bit

when I saw Heidi's works. I enjoy other people's art more than actually like.. doing it and stuff ;)

I see collages everywhere once I open my eyes hehe. Silverware drawers, toolboxes, cat and dog coloring, my desk, my bedroom floor...

:rofl:

[Heidi]

15. If it involves three-dimensional objects, it's ASSEMBLAGE!!!!

Oh, how I'd love to get you in the studio for a messy afternoon of makin' stuff. You've got it in ya, dear. :*

[Inchworm]

22. You should watch me making stew

:rofl:

Layers or orange, green, brown and white in a slippery feast for the tongue :D

17. My dear NYC_SKP!

Great copycat, sweetie!

And I too love collage, but have never actually dabbled in it...

Heidi's works are phenomenal!

:hi:

:hug:

[NYC_SKP]

19. This copycat thread has been elevated to high art and discussion....

With Heidi's and other's contributions.

You know what I'd like to see?

I'd like to see you write a poem inspired by one of Heidi's collages. And I'd like to see a Heidi collage inspired by a Peggy poem.

Huh, wouldn't either of these be sublime?!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Now, that would be something!

Sublime, indeed...

:hug:

18. I teach it. I is an art teacher.

21. Collage is like rap music

There's a LOT more of the bad stuff out there then there is the good stuff. x(

[Call Me Wesley]

23. Make a picture search on Google for John Heartfield.

Still my favorite collage artist (besides Heidi, of course.) Great political stuff!

[mitchum]

24. Yes, but not the PhotoShop type...

c'mon man, that's just too easy.
I also like assemblage
