Book Reviews of Collage Discovery Workshop - Beyond the Unexpected: New Techniques Using Color, Personal Imagery and Creative Surfaces
Book Review: Good for an hour's perusal, but not a keeper
Summary: 3 Stars
Hellmuth gives advanced techniques for collaging cigar boxes, canvas, and fabric, but I have to agree that the artwork isn't up to the level of techniques she's using. Frankly, I have seen enough pointy dunce caps in collages to last a lifetime! Dunce caps are no longer as fresh and amusing as they once were, and why not? Because anybody can cut out a long paper triangle in 10 seconds and glue it to a paper head in another 10 seconds -- and it looks like everybody does. The creativity prompts run to the no-brainer: "Try a different hat! How about using other shapes of cut-out instead of stars?" She can do better than that. Her homemade cell-phone videos are charming, though, so take a peek at them if you want to see how her creative mind really works.
The strength of this book is the photos that show each technique step by step. Plus, there's a gallery of artists' response to an art challenge on the theme of "Accessories and Necessities," using a thrifted hard case such as a travel suitcase. This was delightful. But most of Hellmuth's work throughout the book shows that she was making quick art to illustrate the book, rather than documenting more complex projects. I preferred the first book in this series, but this one does have some new techniques to try.
