Tangled Men
Today's class- Tonight we started a new graded project inspired by the early 20th century Dada movement. Two aspects of Dada are combined in the project, collage and random chance. Students selected words from two bags, which were combined to create a phrase. The randomly chosen phrase is the theme for the collage.
The Project- The first step is to get a randomly chosen theme. Contact me by e-mail and I'll pick a phrase for you, or wait until next week and receive one in class. The collage will be your interpretation of the phrase. Consider all the possibilities of the words. The piece should fill a sheet of your 18"x24" paper, and must include collaged materials, drawn images (pencil, markers, etc) and paint. The theme phrase must be part of it as well. Above and below are some student examples from previous semesters. Collages will be graded on whether they illustrate the theme, use of all the required elements, and how well aspects of color and composition are used in the piece.
