3D Printed Collage

This workshop is presented in collaboration with Pintando: Colors of Education, on exhibit from May 3 to July 31, 2018.

"Martín Luis Guzmán, president of CONALITEG, commissioned artists from 1960 to 1970 to represent the historical heroes and symbols of an independent Mexico. Included in this group is La Patria (Homeland) by Jorge González Camarena (1908-1980). Students in grammar school during this period will remember this artwork as the image of their textbooks."

Today we will play with theme, character and plot by combining found 3D files into a 3D printed collage.
