Abstraction Collage and Combination

Collage and Combination

- Hey all! We've taken A LOT of pictures this semester. Here is a chance to create some artwork with a nice finished quality that combines those pictures along with the many editing techniques we have learned.

- Create combinations of multiple layers and rows (2x5 in the above example).

- Consider some color photos, some black and white, and some black and white with high lighted color.

- How do the images "play" off each other? Each image should look good on it's own, but also compliment the images around it.

- Cropping, placement, and editing will be important in being successful!

Now is the time to copy and paste your photos in! Remember to consider some color photos, some black and white, and some black and white with high lighted color. How do the images "play" off each other? Each image should look good on it's own, but also compliment the images around it. Consider cropping, placement, and editing will be important in being successful!
