In this class, we’ll explore ways to bring a third dimension into our collage work. We will look at a history of 3-D collage in the 20^thcentury with artists such as Joseph Cornell, Robert Rauschenberg, and Fred Tomaselli. We’ll learn a variety of techniques to add more depth to our collages including dioramas and pop-ups, as well as creating layers with transparencies, and mixing other media with collage. Students will come away with at least two finished collages.

Materials to bring: Students are encouraged to bring their own paper, photographs or other items to use in their and their favorite cutting tool if they wish.
