Skills, Techniques and Production in Contemporary Art

This document discusses various techniques used in contemporary art, including collage, decalcomania, decoupage, frottage, montage, trapunto painting, and digital applications. Collage involves adhering cutouts to a surface, decalcomania transfers images, and decoupage coats cutouts with varnish. Frottage creates impressions by rubbing on paper over an object. Montage places overlapping images to form new designs. Trapunto painting pads and stitches canvases then fills them with found objects. Digital applications also allow for new techniques.
