Sketch #3 Collage

-Nature themed
-Man made objects also
-connections between products
-no specific order
-Nature vs. Man
-Abstract and Modern
-Food stands out

When this assignment was announced I immediately became stressed. The time limit was way too fast for me as I like to take my time when making art. Looking back at the assignment I understand why it is done this. This assignment boosts ones sense of analysis and ability to make connections. In the process of making this I had no plan. I was simply cutting things out that jumped out at me. When starting the process I had very little direction in where to put my images. My arrangement only included a little thought. When I arrived back at my dorm I was able to look at my piece for a longer period of time and jokingly made connections. The more I joked about connections the more I realized how much they made sense. I had a lot of pictures that dealt with nature and many pictures of food which contradicted each other. I believe it depicted a message of nature vs. man or the industry. I also used a lot of cool designs from a home decor magazine. This gave the collage an abstract and visual appeal. I ended up being very happy with my collage.

  1. Tim's collage is an interesting mix of images, for the variety of content and color. While many people's pictures seem to repeat a limited color palette, this uses both light and dark images, with the light focused on the left and the dark focused on the right. There are also several images of patterns, as well as food and drink.

  2. This collage is very interesting, there are all different kinds of images involved which allows the viewer to have an open mind. I really like how he put the images together, also the uses of light and dark images provides a pattern.

  3. The theme I picked up on was colors that popped out to you. For instance, the reece's stick out because of the bright orange advertisement. The boxes in the upper right corner are a spectrum of colors. I also see the patten of darkness, where a specific color(white, yellow) on a dark advertisement must have stuck out to you in a less drastic way as the other ones.

  4. A pattern i caught in this collage is one of abstract shapes. For instance the red and white striped figures with the G looking figure right above it. I like how this collage was put together with lighter colors and shapes in the top left with darker colors on the bottom right. It flows well like this and gives the eye a chance to move around the collage.

  5. This collage is interesting because I couldn't really pick out a specific pattern. There is a broad range of colors used as well as a mix of images and words. Some things pop more than others, but overall I like that it doesn't really have one theme.
