Create/Destroy

I admit today was a bit easier than yesterday, maybe it’s because I’ve done something similar before (see below). There’s just something about tearing up pieces of paper that brings out your inner kid. At first I randomly placed images together that I liked. I found that when I cut them into small strips that the smaller pieces turned out better than larger pieces of paper. On my second tape collage I thought that if I gave a “theme” it might turn out better. I used three different images each consisting of the colors, blue, green and purple. When I cut this one into strips I really enjoyed how they turned out. Working on this second collage helped me start thinking about our next projects dealing with the elements.

Another thing I noticed today in class was how everyone was getting along pretty well and working together to help one another. Working on something new for the first time can be difficult but when there is someone else to help you then completing the project becomes so much more rewarding. Seeing as it is still the first week it amazes me how quick we’ve come together as a group of filmmakers and what we will be able to achieve in the future.

The picture above was completed in my ART 101 class. It is a picture of my mother and is made from torn pieces of magazine paper.
