INT-205: Collage

This interdisciplinary studio course introduces collage as a dynamic visual language and critical design method. Through the integration of found, observed, and appropriated two-dimensional elements, students will explore personal and cultural narratives to develop a unique visual voice. Emphasis is placed on storytelling, metaphor, and sequential structure-key tools for artists, designers, illustrators, and communicators. Students will investigate how images operate across various contexts-fine art, advertising, editorial, and social media-and examine their biographical, geographical, and interpersonal relationships to visual content. Traditional and experimental approaches to collage will be explored, with students encouraged to incorporate media and techniques aligned with their individual disciplines, including photography, illustration, digital media, and print.
