Photographic Collage : an exploration of photography & painting
Kate Leonard
SKILL LEVEL : Open to All
CONCEPT : Join us for an engaging exploration of the artistic synthesis between two distinct art forms : photography and painting . Discover transfer techniques that integrate photographic images and text directly onto painted surfaces , resulting in intriguingly complex works . Using traditional collage and photomontage , master new methods that allow for opaque and translucent layers . Reductive methods such as sanding and scraping reveal the history of earlier photographic layers and suggest an archaeological approach to image development . The workshop emphasizes experimentation and exploratory approaches . Participants produce a portfolio of physical examples of all techniques that act as a tangible reference , or technical toolbox , for future application .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students learn photographic and digital techniques to produce custom translucent collage layers . These layers are then incorporated into traditional acrylic paintings on gessoed panels and watercolor board . Utilize traditional collage with photographic material ( text and image ). Explore digital manipulation of imagery including direct printing onto Japanese papers and custom-built acrylic skins . Reductive approaches in sanding and scraping reveal richly layered surfaces .
ACTIVITIES : We begin each morning with a technical demonstration illustrated with visual examples from contemporary art . A range of integrated photographic painting approaches on paper and gessoed panels are introduced . The workshop begins with traditional direct collage approaches . Our investigations transition to digital approaches and students scan their paintings to combine with manipulated digital imagery .
FACULTY : Kate Leonard is a Professor of Art at Colorado College where she directs the Graphics Research Lab , an innovative program in printmaking . Her work is exhibited nationally and internationally .
