For this assignment, choose an image out of a magazine or newspaper and then create a torn/cut paper collage based on that image. Next, on another sheet of paper you will use a low-end transfer technique to collage one or two pieces of your original image photographically onto the page. Finally, your task is to draw in the surrounding areas by using the collage you had created as a source. Before starting your transfer process and final drawing, I would recommend masking off a border with your drafting tape, approx. 1” in from the border of the page.
Through this multiple step process you will have transformed a found image into your own piece, partially combining the original source with a twice-abstracted version of that same source. The final products tend to evolve into an unexpected twist of the original image.
Materials:
Found magazine or newspaper image
Glue or tape
Matte gel medium (for transfer process)
Foam brush
22”x30” watercolor paper (for final drawing)
Any combination of ink wash, charcoal, graphite, conté crayon, etc.
