Digital Collage Fine Art

Series One

The art of digital collaging might be seen as a lost tradition with little financial avenues for those engaged in the practice of visual design & contemporary art. But as a form of creative exercise in exhibiting and showcasing skills covered on Karin Schminke, Dorothy Simpson Krause and Bonny Pierre Lhotka seminal book entitle: “ Digital Art Studio“. Techniques for combining inkjet printing with traditional art materials is a must read for those of you interested in the craft.

This is the first book that shows visual artist how to weave a fantasy of imaginative images by integrating their favorite art materials with digital devices embedded in color manipulation, collaging and texture scanning. Allowing your computer to become the ultimate mixed-media machine with proper use of Adobe design tools & digital painting techniques.

I highly recommend buying the book as part one covers basic processes, in how to prepare watercolor paper, canvas and other commercially available fine art surfaces. Later to use  for digital printing with your own Epson high fidelity photo printer. Which is a vital investment if you are in the business of creating tailor digital prints for gallery venues and graphic design T-shirts for production purposes.

Part two of the book focuses on advance methods for transferring images to absorbent, non-absorbent and three dimensional surfaces. layering prints with collages and paint; printing on fabrics are also explored.

Each piece was carefully executed after reading and developing the book’s chapter workshops in conduction with the necessary art supplies needed. And as a general homework assignment in creating original and though provoking art images was at the heart of the project from its conception.

In thinking about how to best composed each layer as a form of conceptual practice the works of John baldessari came to mind. Not in terms of visual cues but rather as a way of framing these images as pieces of contemporary art while learning new techniques in fine art. Which might seem as a lost art for emerging art students attending Parsons these days.
