Photographic Collage:

integrative approaches for painting
and monotype
Kate Leonard
Skill Level: II & III
Concept:  Interesting things happen at the
intersection of photography, painting and printmaking. In this workshop, students practice
collage and photomontage as well as transfer
and decal techniques. The aim is to integrate
photographic images and text with painted surfaces and monotypes. Unlike traditional cutting
and pasting, Kate’s approach allows text and
image to be transferred as both opaque and
translucent layers.
Media & Techniques: Traditional collage combined with digital manipulation of imagery.
Digital transfer film, Thermofax silkscreen and
acrylic photo-transfers. Reductive approaches
such as scraping, paired with additive techniques using encaustic and digital polymer
grounds to allow for richly layered imagery on
both prepared panels and sized paper.
Activities:  Each morning begins with technical demonstrations followed by afternoon
work time and critique. In the second week,
work progresses to larger artworks tailored to
each student.
Faculty:  Kate Leonard is a Professor of Art
at Colorado College where she directs the
Graphics Research Lab, a creative space for
printmaking and photography. She received
an American Scandinavian Foundation grant
in 2008 for her innovative photographic transfer paintings.
