I got a bit ahead of myself and forgot to post this assignment...
Going back to greyscale, here is the assignment attached to the greyscale assessment (the one with the greyscale tool):
The brief was to create a neutral collage, with only black white and grey.
It was harder than I thought!
White is not really white!
I used:
- dictionary pages
- white pages pages
- an old add for whitening face cream (yes, it's a real add!),
- more of my spotted ribbon
- I cropped a photo and printed it onto canvas
- printed acetate
- chipboard window frame (2 stuck together for dimension with the acetate sandwiched in between),
- graphite
- gouache
- sharpie
- rub-ons
ummm.... I can't think of anything else.... I very much enjoyed making this collage -I continued in my desire to create it using only what I had on hand (mostly recycled and discarded stuff). I was happy with it when it was done. Once again, mine was
completely different from everyone else's! I'm sure most people feel this way - when I put my work up with everyone else's and mine is
way out of the box by comparison it makes me feel a little nervous. I asked myself questions like this: "Did I miss something in the brief?" "Am I way off base?" I got great feedback, though, so even though I felt a little concerned at first I walked away feeling good about it again. Makes me realise that even though I like to think that I am happy with my work because I did it, because I am true to myself etc etc blah blah, approval from my teachers is still really important to me.
On reflection, I do think that the add needs a black frame around it, to give it better balance...
