Art Foundations -- Unity

Fire Head
I collaborated with another very talented art student in creating Fire Head, a collage that was to create unity in the composition in several ways. First we wanted to create unity through continuation. The line that forms the right edge of the figure’s head continues into the flames. There are also dark shadow lines that continue from the figure’s right and left ears. Second we wanted to create unity through shape. The shape of the face is continued and completed by the flames. Third, we wanted to create unity with color. This was done by the green of the flaming car matching the green of the figure and the orange of the flames complementing the green of the face. Fourth, we wanted to create a new idea that was not present in either of the original pictures. We believe we did this with Fire Head.
