Collage Drawing Class

In this drawing class, we explored composite and collage drawing techniques. The approach involves combining unrelated elements into a single image, creating unexpected visual combinations.

The drawing depicts a knight embracing a cloud. This type of composite imagery brings together two distinct subjects—an armored figure and an atmospheric form—into a single scene.

Collage techniques have a rich history in art, particularly within Surrealism, where artists combined disparate images to create dreamlike scenes. In drawing, this approach allows for playful or imaginative pairings.
