Experimenting with Collage

For this topic I have looked at a range of images of different types of collage and the range of things other people have done when creating their collage art pieces. Some use a range of texts and typography to create portraits, whilst others used clumps of colours to create images of fruit or flowers.

I have also started to collect materials to begin making my own collages. As it is very uncommon for people to buy and own magazines nowadays I am collecting the free Tesco food magazines as they are easy enough to get your hands on, it is also quite uncommon for people to buy newspapers on a regular basis and I also have to frames to use to make my collage pieces on and in.

Paint Pouring

For my first attempt I used a pink colour pallet making a range of pink shades of paint along side red white and a few purple shades.  I began by pouring my different colours in the water filled tray, then using the end if a paintbrush to mix the colours to create a nice pattern in the water. I then placed a piece of paper onto the patterns then lifting the paper off to reveal the pattern that has now been printed onto the paper. I repeated this process numerous times to create a range of different patterns and pieces. After all the paper was dry I picked the pieces that I thought worked best an put them in sets to be mounted to display in my exhibition.

Here are my results:
