Digital Collage

Digital Collage

 Today we were asked to create a digital collage in groups of two with the theme of Carnival.

We put loads of images that you would associate with a carnival together and then faded them so they don't stand out as well we then cut the letters out of different types of paper to spell the word carnival.

I feel this worked well because it gave it a very rugged effect instead of just typing the word carnival.

We used quite a few techniques while creating our work the main technique we used was a simple copy and paste of images. We then changed the hue and satiation of the images and changed the opacity so there slightly faded and then we added a texture to it and mask round the outside of the images.

If I had to do the same collage again I would probably change the background and make the colour more muted so it doesn't shows up quote so much.

Here is my first attempt at a digital collage I made this collage by putting together a series of pictures that I took around Bristol and blending them together to make the effect that there one image.

Today we had to re-create a collage following a tutorial just below shows the original and my attempt at recreating it.

Collage Research

The artist has ripped images out of books and magazines and then he has stuck the images together in a way so when you look at it from a distance it makes a picture.

The artist I think first got a watered down paint and put it on the canvas to make the back ground  

the artist has then got a picture and put it on top of the watered down paint then I think the artist splashed a thick oil paint over it to give it it some slight 3D. 

When I look at this collage it looks like a series of techniques have been used but I think the main technique used is just a simple overlaying of images.

The artist has got a image of someone and put a some natural images (trees,sea and rocks) over the top of it and masking it together so it looks like its one picture.
