This art project is brought to you by That Art Teacher. Click on their name to bring up the link and some videos and examples.
This project will take a look at the surrealism art movement and dada art movement. We will look at artist Hannah Hoch for inspiration for our collage. You will create your collage on Photopea and using remove.bg to help you remove backgrounds from images.
Hannah Höch is a great artist to focus on because she was rocking and rolling as a female artist in Germany during a time where women’s roles were still very stifled. She began being recognized for her Dada artworks around 1917 and continued creating satirical and politically pointed works until her death in 1978. I always try to remind my students that women won the right to vote in America in 1920, so to be a female artist criticizing gender expectations and critiquing political structure was very brave and divergent.
DIRECTIONS:
Your project will be to create a surrealistic colllage using photopea.
We will discuss how to cut images out of photos and how to layer your images to create a collage.
You will have the option of creating a landscape or a portrait for your collage.
There are examples below for each type of collage. Note that these are made with paper and glue, but we will use photopea to create ours.
