Combination Collages

When I began to work on this set of collages, I had no idea what I was going to do. I kept tossing out ideas and couldn’t decide what direction to go with the assignment. I decided to let my supplies and tools dictate my creation. I looked in my tackle box of art supplies and thought about what might give my work some texture. I found some white and black acrylic paint. My first thought was that acrylic paint would make for a nice raised feeling on the black foam core that I was working with. I also had the idea of creating a segmented jigsaw object in the middle of each collage. I used a compass to help cut out circles from some of the pictures I had taken. Then I cut the circles up and mixed up the pieces to created a patchwork of different photos. I also cut out little triangles to place around each collage to give even more texture to each piece of work. I then applied the same dots to the little triangles. The dotting was tedious, but in the end I like how they came out.
