Abstract
The project on collage in-the-round seeks to find out if three dimensional free-standing models could be used as a support for collage execution. It is also to explore how carved figures could be incorporated in collage making in order to achieve a high relief work. Investigations were done on why and how to execute collage in-the round. The research methods used for this project were experimental and qualitative in approach. The experimental method was used to do the studio work of the research project and the qualitative method was used to analyze the art works produced. At the end of this study, three pieces of collage in-the-round which were all free standing as well were executed successfully. One can identify both the frontal and quarter views of the figures at the same time on the three pieces namely “Evil can’t be hidden”, “Gossip not” and “Face of Africa politics”. This project on the use of unconventional materials and three dimensional supports for collage making has been of great intellectual exercise for the researcher and hope it will be a great contribution to collage making in the painting section of the College of Art and Social Sciences, KNUST, Kumasi Ghana.
