NEW MEDIA COLLAGE

Course Description

New Media Collage: Analog to Digital Systems explores collage as a conceptual and technical method across physical, digital, and three-dimensional media. Students will move from hands-on analog collage to 2D digital image-making and 3D digital scene construction, investigating how images, objects, and symbols generate meaning within contemporary visual culture. The course emphasizes experimentation, research, and critical discussion of media systems, authorship, and technological tools. Students will develop hybrid works that intertwine analog and digital processes while articulating their conceptual frameworks through writing and critique.

This course treats collage as both a material practice and a critical strategy. Students will experiment across analog and digital systems while questioning how images circulate, encode meaning, and shape cultural narratives. The goal is to develop a flexible, research-informed studio practice that engages contemporary media and technological tools with conceptual intention.
