Objective: Make a collage combining collage techniques (layering, juxtaposition, and/or appropriation) and drawings that expresses a story or collection of stories from your childhood.
Pre-planning and Brainstorming:
Interview someone (or multiple people!) who watched you grow up, particularly between the ages of 1-5 years of age. What were you like? What is something that they remember you doing/saying/etc. that you never knew before? Was it funny, cute, annoying, scary, silly? Is there a particular story that they remember that you may not because you were so young?
Use the information you gather as the starting point for a collage.
What to consider:
LAYER, LAYER, LAYER! How much will you show? How much will you hide? Draw over your collaged areas, incorporate text if you want, but above all else PLAN!
Consider a sense of VISUAL MOVEMENT and how you will move our eyes throughout your piece with purpose and intent (in other words, don’t just slap a bunch of materials down, plan out your composition!)
Consider using text. What words are vital to the story you are trying to communicate?
Requirements:
Use at least three different types of media (but feel free to use more!)
18x24" paper (minimum...again, feel free to work larger)
At least three areas have been drawn from OBSERVATION (as in looking at something that is in front of you and drawing it from life, not from a photograph)
At least two of these drawings must be layered over another area (as in the drawings are on top of something else...layer, layer, layer!)
The entire page must be covered in a well planned composition
Due Dates:
5 thumbnails of your ideas- Wednesday, Oct. 29
In progress critique (work should be approx. 50% complete)- Tuesday November 11th
Final Collage- Monday November 24th
