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.

Art Foundations -- Collage
Objects in Space
Our assignment was to create a collage of two kinds of objects in space. They needed to be of various sizes and the composition had to be open, so that some objects continued outside of the picture plane. The purpose was to invoke a third idea that was not present in the composition. This was a fun project, although the glue can be a little sticky at times.

Art Foundations 107
I have just completed Art Foundations 107. It has been an interesting semester since the BSU Art Department is undergoing its decennial departmental accreditation. In class, as soon as our work was complete, it was whisked away from us and not returned. We wondered if we would ever get it back. At the end of the semester, some of it was returned so I'll post some images in subsequent postings.
