I wanted to get away from using things too literally in my collages. With these 5 collages I began by just cutting pieces from my congress images. Once I had a collection of pieces, I began to construct. The collages began to take form naturally and I just kept stacking pieces where they seemed needed.
Eventually after many hours of work I had a mesh of twisted motorcycle metal, a mix of leafy green, a swirl of blue, a rocket ship, and a sand castle. I used many photoshop tools to complete the assignment. I used the various marque tools, the brush tool, the eraser, as well as the the magnetic and non magnetic lasso tool.
Im much happier with these collages than I was with our first analog set. I tried to do the opposite in these 5 digital collages. I attempted to let form and shape guide my collage and not get too caught up in the building of scene. Im looking forward to meshing analog and digital in the next phase of our collage project.
