Hello here you have a new creative activity from Unit 3 of the book, we are going to work with Techniques for creating tactile textures: The collage. You can read more information in page 22 of the book.
Collage is a technique of art creation. A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China around 200 BC. The use of collage, however, remained very limited until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems.
The technique of collage appeared in medieval Europe during the 13th century. Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries. Gemstones and other precious metals were applied to religious images, icons, and also, to coats of arms.
In the 19th century, collage methods also were used among hobbyists for memorabilia (i.e. applied to photo albums) and books (i.e. Hans Christian Andersen, Carl Spitzweg).
The term collage 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.
As a voluntary activity you can make a collage with the online app: Collage Machine or other apps you can find in your mobilephone, then take a photo or an screen image of your computer and send it to me.
Now is the moment to think about your emotions and express yourself. It can be by an abstract composition, figurative or copy reality, but you have to show an emotion you are feeling now.
You are going to need pencil, setsquare, scisors, glue, color papers, cardboar, natural elements, newspapers, fabric, rope, unused things, waste materials, dry food, dry parts of plants or flowers.
- Do a 1cm margin in your paper
- Live a small space in a corner to write the name of the emotion you are representing
- Draw with pencil the most important lines of the composition
- Start filling the background or big elements and then the figures or small elements. (if you start with the figure is very difficult to fill the background, figures can be pasted inside the background).
Here you have some examples from other years, you can use similar elements but you have to do your own composition related to an emotion:
