Week 9 Tutorial Collage (or week 10 I’ve lost track after the mid-sem break split 2 weeks into one)
I thought I would post all the images that are my own in one post, and summarise some research and class notes in another post, to try and avoid making so many mammoth posts
So, as a quick overview of the activity, we were asked to make a collage, either digital or physical, in reference to collage art & Détournement (which I will explain more in the next post)
I began by cutting out images that I just thought were quirky and fun, without thinking about it too much, then separated my images across my desk in ‘groups’ like people, body parks, skeletons etc before quickly deciding a layout.
I decided to segment David Bowie’s head and place inside some colourful and weird faces and body parts, emulating what I think is Bowie’s weird and obscure persona. I like how I unintentionally created a nice colour harmony with black and white images and then warmer pink and yellow tones.
After class I quickly made another little reflection collage with some leftover images (I didn’t get a scissor dint in my thumb to not use all the images I cut out!)
* Images used taken from 4 issues of ‘Zen’ Magazine *
I really enjoyed this activity, and I think I might try creating a digital collage, or even a digital version of my physical collage.
