Collage 5: Just the beginning



April tries Inktense pencils
I'm learning--better video to come!

What is collage? I asked April. She thought about it: "Getting two images (found or made) & putting them together in a 2-D way."
With another moment for consideration & checking her sources, she went on:
3-D is decoupage.
3-D with found objects, combined in an artistic way is assemblage.

She said Kurt Schwitters was a major collage influence. There's an overview of his work at Berkeley until Nov. 27.

Definitions are a jumping-off point. This LeMoyne class has taught me collage = timeless + useless. I love it.
