Artist Linder Sterling used photographs taken from different media
sources. These images were enlarged, cropped, and juxtaposed with
disparate images. Artist Bryan Adams has used photography to document
the obsession of celebrity in popular culture. In this class,
participants will partake in a collage project exploring the impact of
another media form on our cultural and personal identities, SOCIAL
MEDIA. Students will create an IDENTITY BOOK combining images from mass
media, our own Facebook, other social media profiles, and various paper
ephemera. Clippings will be cut and adhered on the transparent pages of
the book to create layers of meaning.
Social media platforms such as blogs Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
online dating websites, and Pinterest give individuals the tools to cut,
paste, and edit photos and information to construct and edit (montage)
personal identities that are often idealized versions of reality. Our
project will ask attendees to reflect on the identity they have created
for themselves via social media platforms juxtaposed with the self that
they have airbrushed and left on the cutting room floor. How do we
curate these public profiles to position ourselves in the most
flattering light?
No art making experience is needed. Join us for an evening of music, creative exploration, and new friends.
