What shall one teach in a course in collage? Often, the technique is taught at the level of cut, glue and support. Yes, but that does not make the work more beautiful.
In my opinion, it is the assemblage technique that should be taught.
Called in a rehabilitation center, I gave a half-day collage workshop to two classes making collage regularly. The first group consisted of middle-aged adults and the other young adults, so that I could adapt different strategies and vary my teaching. I showed them what I was doing and asked them to make a collage on a chosen picture, like me, then to transform it. The problem is always the same: the result does not "stick" with intent. Or the process is too simplistic. Or the various elements do not fuse into one image. And that's the common critic of collages that clarifies all this with concrete examples. Of course, this may disillusion some the author of a collage, but in general, he knows in the depths of himself and I was thanked for my honesty by one of the young adults. The same happens also with a young student who is preparing her portfolio for admission to Art Schools and whom I coach.
Returning to my collage course, I found that 1) I was delighted to teach and 2) that I knew how to do it now. Maybe I can find more occasions to do so, even though my age is perhaps a handicap (?).

Enseigner le collage.

Que faut-il enseigner dans un cours de collage ? Souvent, on enseigne la technique au niveau de la découpe, de la colle et du support. Certes, mais cela ne rend pas l’œuvre plus belle.
A mon avis, c’est la technique d’assemblage qu’il faut enseigner.
Appelé dans un centre de réinsertion, j’ai donné une demi-journée de cours de collage à deux classes faisant du collage régulièrement. Le premier groupe était composé d’adultes d’âge moyen et l’autre de jeunes adultes, de sorte que j’ai pu adapter des stratégies différentes. Je leur ai montré ce que je faisais et leur ai demandé de faire un collage sur une photo choisie, comme moi, puis de la transformer. Le problème rencontré est toujours le même : le résultat ne « colle » pas avec l’intention. Ou le procédé est trop simpliste. Ou bien les différents éléments ne fusionnent pas en une image. Et c’est la critique en groupe des collages réalisés qui permet de clarifier tout cela, avec des exemples concrets. Evidemment, cela peut désillusionner un peu l’auteur d’un collage, mais en général, celui -ci le sait bien au fond de lui-même et j’ai été remercié pour ma franchise par l’un des jeunes adultes. La même chose se passe d’ailleurs avec une jeune étudiante qui prépare son dossier d’admission aux Ecoles d’Art et que je coache.
Revenant de mes cours de collage, j’ai constaté que 1) j’ai été ravi d’enseigner et 2) que savais comment le faire dorénavant. A voir, même si mon âge avancé constitue peut-être un handicap ( ?).
