Sustainability was reflected in art, students used old magazines and newspapers

The Development Workshops, which bring students together with pleasant, instructive and fun activities, pursue without slowing down. Istanbul Gelisim University, which came to the forefront with the importance it attaches to sustainability, brought sustainability to the arts with its "Sustainable Collage Workshop", one of the events organized within the scope of Development Workshops this week. In the trainings given by Lect. Şermin Tepe, topics such as the use of materials and composition design were emphasized.

“OUR AIM IS TO USE RECYCLABLE MATERIALS”

Collage works, which help different artistic works to emerge, are also one of the most applied techniques. Lect. Şermin Tepe, from Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Fine Arts, stated that collage works made of magazine pictures, photographs, fabrics and similar materials can also be very effective for sustainability.

Lect. Tepe: “We used recyclable materials in the Sustainable Collage Workshop that we organized within the scope of Development Workshops. In this way, we have reintroduced recyclable materials into art. In the workshop, we carried out poster work on two-dimensional surface with our students. While creating our study, we used recyclable materials such as newspapers, magazines, etc. "

IT GIVES AN AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE!

Collages, which can reveal original designs and artistic products in project development for the ability to research, discover and establish hand-eye coordination for daily life, have opened a new field with sustainable products. Stating that collage works have a great impact on the development of hand skills and creativity, Şermin Tepe underlined that sustainability studies can be applied in the field of art as well as in every field. Lect. Tepe said, "Collage studies provide a method of expressing oneself with different objects and give an aesthetic perspective. Hence, a number of objects we use in daily life can be used in collage technique without material limitation."
