Week 2 – Collage task

This week after our mark making session we were asked to then turn what we had done in to collages.

I began with photocopying what I had done previously and cutting interesting pictures out of old magazines. I then began sticking and rearranging everything.

Once I had a base I then wanted to add texture and other objects. As you can see from the pictures further down I used old wrappers, flowers and polystyrene. This added depth to my collage. I started fringing the edges which then lead me to cut sections out and fold bits over.

Finally I used different objects and materials to then create more of the same marks that I had previously done. I used such objects as a flat edged paint brush dipped in ink and acrylic to tissue and sponges. I also liked the texture the painted the presses polystyrene had.
