For this project we got 3 words to choose from and create a collage out of. The 3 words were: adventure, fear and fantasy. I chose to do adventure. For my idea I wanted to do someone on a cliff looking out on top of a jungle with a sunset in the background. I started off with a blank canvas, then painted Geso to make the surface harder. After that I gathered white, red, orange, and yellow tissue paper to do the sky. After I layered those together I gathered 3 shades of green tissue paper. I rolled/ crutched them up to look like tops of trees. I also found a magazine with palm trees. I cut those out to give the jungle a tropical feel. After I placed all of the trees together, I then started WORKIN on the cliff. I painted it a shade of grey, and some browns and blacks to give a rock texture. Then I was done. I liked this project because I think collaging is unique and fun to do and you can get really creative with it. I don't think this was my best project because I didn't plan it out very well. In previous practices with collaging we did, I learned how to transfer images onto clear tape. My friends and I had a blast doing this project, we have eachother ideas and thoughts along the process of creating our artwork. |
