ARTH-102 Final Assignment
For my final piece I decided to combine aspects from our futurism assignment and the formal elements assignment to bring attention to our planet and the environment . The entire collage was made across two pages from my sketchbook and framed. I cut out background pieces from magazines in the complementary colors of blue and orange. Some of the blue is pictures of water and some of it is the sky. I took the typography from the futurism unit to write out the phrase “The earth is what we all have in common”. I think this phrase is very powerful because it demonstrates our shared responsibility toward our planet.
On the far right of the collage I included people with binoculars observing what is happening in the rest of the collage. They are watching the world burn represented by the explosion in the middle of the piece. I also included housing developments toward the bottom to demonstrate how humans are taking away homes of animals to build properties and further expand our society. The environment is a topic I am very passionate about and I wanted to capture that in this final assignment!
