Collage and Composition/Space Management/Telling Stories

Begin by pulling 75 pages from magazines and books in the room.
Pull out any page that catches your eye.
(Remember what we notice and take note of, influences our work)
Begin cutting out images notice any stories that begin coming to mind.

Get a lay-out board.
Prepare your background with surface (See board in class)
Start lay-out

Remember to
1.  Think about what your focal point will be.  (How is a focal point created in a composition?)
2.  Start thinking about an idea or message.
3.  Look at 5 collage artists work that you like.  Remember to reflect and take notes in your developmental journals as you work.
4.  Incorporate all elements of composition in your work.  Good use of positive and negative space, variety of directions, variety of sizes, let items go off page.  See posters on board in class for more information.
