This weeks workshops were interesting. While my main medium is gouaches, paints, and digital drawing on photoshop, it is nice to see how collage works in the act of physical creation. I definitely wished I could have played a lot more with interweaving layers- I had not even finished the background I was setting up when it was time to go. That being said, art takes a lot longer than just 75 minutes.
The collage project also brought to mind some more modern versions of collage, like stop motion animations. Monty Python is famous for its use of collage stop motion, and youtubers have millions of followers from their work. It is something that is simultaneously high-tech and tactile, which is the winning combination in the era of virtual reality.
