For the final project of Drawing and Imaging, we were asked to create a series around a collage that we made earlier in the semester. For the first collage I made, I created a figure in the clouds looking down on a city. I used three different types of specialty paper, my mark-making pieces from a previous project, as well as micro pens (see collage below). For the materials, I chose specialty papers that had limited color but still would give a \u201cpop\u201d to the piece. I wanted to use unique textures and colors to make my piece (s) stand out from the rest.<\/p>\n
The goal was to create two more pieces around the first collage to form a series. When thinking about what I wanted to create, I referred back to what we had learned in class. I thought about values, mark making, different textures, the concept of progression, and so on. To incorporate these aspects into the series, I decided to create two new pieces with different values that had the same concept as the first. For the middle piece, I used a gray piece of paper and continued the building to show the midsection of them. I then added the figure as if she was progressing into the new section of the city. Next, I continued the swiping lines to incorporate them into the piece (see piece below). For the third and final piece, I used black paper to represent the final value and the end of the series. I continued the building and added a ground to show the end of the progression. I added the figured landing on the ground to show her final stop before going back into the \u201clight.\u201d The last step I did was connect the swirling lines into the final piece.<\/p>\n
