- Decisions: I used things that describe me film, pictures, projects. They are all hobbies I enjoy and frankly I'm just as messy so my desk really does look like that.
- Color:as far as color goes... there really isn't much I have the purple of the pansey and the pink of the rose which is continued in the film strips and the wastebasket. I like working in black and white, so lack of color is more my forte.
- Light: I kept the top of the desk light and the bottom dark there really isn't much too it.
- Texture:the chair and wall have some texture but that's created. I have bubble wrap and a hazard sticker that are actual texture and really fun because of the effect they give.
- Volume:There is volume in the 3-D space I tried to create with the extra piece of board.
- Line: there is a diagonal axis because of the desk and the flower causes a circular motion arund the composition
- Space: The top of the desk and the floor are what create space.
- Scale: The scale of the flower in my collage is important for my middle name is rose which I go by often.
- Symbolism: the roses stand for me the film strips photography the wastebasket=mistakes and the hazard sticker=privacy.
- Art: What does art mean to you? Where does it fit into the world today?
- History: My history is in the wastebasket. I am a new person and straightening out thing in the present. My history has made a wiser, stronger person, and as a result I'm moving on to bigger better things.
My collage is supposed to look like a messy working desk. I drew in the chair and waste basket elements and used another piece of poster board to make the desk. So in doing so I made depth in the composition. Under the desk I used a pencil and created a darker value underneath to create space and an eraser on the chair to distinguish its texture form that of the wall and carpet.
Your collage is simple in composition and color, which fits well with the simple symbols you used. I love your idea of the waste basket symbolizing mistakes that have become your history-that you don't dwell on things that went wrong so that you can return to "work," symbolized by the desk. Great concept
ReplyDeleteThe background surprisingly gives an excellent accent to the main focus of the collage. Also the scaling makes sure people know what is important to you.
ReplyDeleteNice Job.
Your composition is very abstract. I can understand how you would draw relation to your collage and a messy, work desk. Although the composition itself is very abstract, the detailing and connections are very simple. Through your collage, I cant tell what you value the most. For some reason, when I look at your collage, It reminds me of a retro 80s feel. I like it- simple and abstract.
ReplyDeleteThe color scheme is simple but effective. I also like how you made it a little 3-dimensional, as I remember seeing it in class.
ReplyDeleteYour concept of "straightening things out in the present" is nicely conveyed; I like the way you chose to interpret that literally visually to convey that deeper meaning.
