I’ve used this with students where they have collaged on a dark painted surface (artists black, never true black!) and then covered their collage with a layer of PVA glue. He then covers this with a thick, clear layer of epoxy resin. Working on wood he collages medicinal herbs, prescription pills and hallucinogenic plants alongside images cut from books and magazines: flowers, birds, butterflies, arms, legs and noses. I’m not sure why he’s referred to as a painter as a majority of the bits you see are collaged on. It was a great start to the lesson.īelow is the work of artist Fred Tomaselli. I once did a successful Schwitters inspired project and littered the classroom floor with bits for students to pick up. However, others argue that Picasso did it first! Schwitters collected his materials from the streets of Berlin. Schwitters is credited with being the first to do it. You can’t talk about collage artists without mentioning Kurt Schwitters (above) as he is considered to be ‘The King of Collage’. Click on any image to go to a google search or the artist’s website. There are some old favourites here and hopefully some new ones too. I’ve put together this list of collage artists to give you an overview of who you could use in the classroom with your students. ![]()
