4 Week | Collage: Outsider Art

Class Description:

Whether using paper or fabric, collage has long been practiced by women, people of color, and those without access to a formal art education. In this course students will examine the history of collage as an outsider art – how women and people of color used material at hand (paper and fabric scraps, for example) to create visual expressions that resonate powerfully today. Students will be asked to channel the spirit of these artists (many of whom remain unidentified) in creating their own works of art from the materials of daily life. The instructor will bring her expertise in history and collage to aid students in their exploration of this vibrant and accessible art form.

 

What to Expect:

The first three class sessions will include visits to the DAM Permanent Collection Galleries to provide students with inspiration in ways to think about collage. Each class session will include a discussion of different collage techniques and approaches to collage in addition to work time. Students are encouraged to practice their “collage eye” outside of class and will be given the opportunity to share their experiences with the instructor and/or the class. Students will be provided with a collage starter kit and will be given guidance in looking for additional materials to add to their collage collection.

 

Educator Bio:

Teresa Cribelli started her art career in the archive; inspired by the historical documents she used in her academic research in Brazil, she became interested in the ways that collage can bring the past and the present together. She was also inspired by the wheat paste street art of Rio de Janeiro. Part of Rio’s vibrant street art culture, wheat paste posters (graphic art printed on paper and pasted to walls) became a type of open-air collective collage she watched for on her daily commute. Inspired by the outsider artists who make street art, she began collecting and then experimenting with vintage papers to make her own collages.

 

Bringing her training as a historian to her practice (she taught Latin American History at the University of Alabama for 11 years) Teresa uses her small-scale analog collages to make visual statements about power, gender, and the environment told through the lens of history. Her work has been shown at Kolaj Fest in New Orleans and Paperworkers Local in Birmingham, Alabama among other venues. Her pieces are held in private collections and in the Doug and Laurie Kanyer Art Collection. Street art pieces based on her collages can be seen in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama; Denver, Colorado; Barcelona, Spain; and São Luís, Brazil.

FULL COURSE - Why Should We Art? Creativity & the Human Experience

Creating art is uniquely human. From Stone Age cave paintings to contemporary street art, creative expression is bound to the very essence of our humanity. In this three-session seminar, led by Denver Art Museum teaching specialist and art historian Molly Medakovich, explore the powerful roles and benefits of art in our lives. Through interactive lectures, group discussions, and dedicated time in the galleries, we’ll consider art as a vehicle for personal well-being and mindfulness, community healing and connection, and societal statements and provocation. Walk away with new perspectives on the museum’s global collections and your own relationship to art.

Logan Lecture: Anna Tsouhlarakis

Anna Tsouhlarakis (born 1977, Lawrence, Kansas) uses a stereotype-busting sense of humor to reframe discussions about Native American art and identity. For more than two decades, she has centered Native histories in her practice to address indigenous rights and strategies of decolonization in the United States. From sculptures composed of Ikea furniture remnants, animal parts, and found objects, to large-format text paintings and installations, Tsouhlarakis offers deeper insight into the contemporary Native experience.

A recipient of the Creative Capital Award (2021), Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (2023), and Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2024), Tsouhlarakis has had solo exhibitions at the Fine Arts Center Museum at Colorado College, Colorado Springs; Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; and Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University, Columbus. She has participated in various artist residencies at MacDowell, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and Yaddo. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Center Museum at Colorado College; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Arizona; and Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence.

An enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and of Creek and Greek descent, Tsouhlarakis received a BA in 1999 from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire and an MFA in 2002 from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. She is an associate professor of arts practices at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
