Collage: Deconstructing, Reconstructing and Abstracting

By Joe Gamble

In this resource, learners will create an abstract artwork using collage and drawing, exploring memory and place through colour, composition and found materials. Using viewfinders, they will re-see and interpret a chosen prompt or source of inspiration.

Looking at and combining the work of Etel Adnan, Kurt Schwitters, Lee Krasner and Atelier Bingo, learners will explore colour, texture and composition. With a focus on the process over the finished outcome, learners will also be encouraged to experiment and play, enjoying the freedom of using and responding to their intuition.

What We Like About This Resource…

“I really like how this playful resource helps us to make a creative response inspired by a stimulus, ensuring that the stimulus is only an entry point into an outcome that will look totally different. Exploring the themes of colour, texture and composition through the lens of different artists also helps us see how we can interpret (and re-interpret) colours and materials in a meaningful way. Viewfinders and collage are also great tools for those who experience ‘fear of the white page’ and will allow learners to make conscious creative decisions as they go.” – Tobi, AccessArt
