14. Your Project Create a collage using one of the two methods – Entirely New Composition – Composition made up of mostly found images (this must be equally as complex as an entirely new composition). For either of the collages, you must include some original imagery or altered paper (e.g. a drawing, a piece of paper you draw on non-objectively and will cut up, an original photograph, etc.) Take into consideration: – Color – Value to create dimension / highlights and shadows – Shape/Form (does it look ‘flat’ or ‘fat’?) You may use magazines, printed images, and drawing materials. No paint.
