This presentation begins by defining photomontage, and using examples to explain how it differs from collage - an important lesson as many students believe these terms to be interchangeable.

A brief story of photomontage is then provided, from its Dada birth to artists practicing today. The presentation is packed full of popular examples and references which your students will recognise.

The presentation concludes with a task to use photomontage to illustrate a news story from Emily Coxhead’s Happy Newspaper, which focuses on sharing positive stories which are just a breath of fresh air at the moment!

Several news stories (text only) and a photomontage example are provided, why not use this as the basis for a critique to help students identify strengths and weaknesses before creating their own work?

Time should be allowed for students to gather and cut out their images aswell as time for assemblage. Encourage your students to play around with composition before gluing anything down.

TIP
When delivering this session myself remotely, at the end of the task I got students to share their photomontages anonymously on www.padlet.com. We then had lots of fun pairing the photomontage with the news headline, and trying to identify which student created which image.

This resource was originally created during the first lockdown for Level 3 (sixth form) students. The presentation is easily emailed, or share on your screen during a live lesson. Both PDF and PPT hold the same content, just download the file type that you prefer.

I hope you find this resource to be useful. I’d love to hear how you get on with it - please leave me a review :-)
Best wishes,
Hannah
