Mere and easy: collage as a critical practice in pedagogy - 8

Collage making offers everyone from small children to trained artists the ability to express themselves through images.

In this new 'Common Threads' collection, Jorge Lucero draws on the archive of the journal Visual Arts Research to present articles focused on the place of collage in fine art and education.

Guided by the twinned concepts of mereness - collage's reputation as a trifle - and easiness - the technique's accessibility to all - the authors explore how subversive, debased, and effortless the collage gesture can be.
