Collage Assignment
This is a secret......
Medium
Done with chalk pastels on green and blue papers.
Making Of
I started with the following two drawings, which ended up not looking very alike at all:
space.........
I then proceeded to rip them to shreds. I pieced them together, starting with the heads in opposite corners, and then tried to make some torsos and fill in any remaining room with the dresses. I took some liberties, and even have some parts from a hand in one of the faces. After I had the bodies done, I flipped over my remaining parts and cobbled together a background, with the idea of contrasting the blue and the green.
Comments
I found this project much more frustrating than I anticipated, especially when I would get an idea and then realize I didn't have the pieces to make it a reality. I also found myself smudging pieces as I tried to glue them, and inevitably got glue all over my hands which only made matters worse. All in all however, I'm happy with the end result.
