Bits and pieces.

Today in class we looked at collage work.
Firstly, Guiseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593). His paintings show a collage process- though it occurs before painting:

Arcimboldo, Quatre Saisons

Jumping forward a few centuries, Richard Hamilton's collages come under the Pop Art movement. Using cut outs from magazines and advertising material, Hamilton was critiquing the consumerism that had taken over post-war USA.

Collage is useful technique to look at, as what i'll be doing in photoshop will be a form of collage. From Arcimboldo's painting, to Pop Art cut-out collage, to now - digital collage.
It has allowed artists to appropriate media of the time, this is something I could do for the project.
