My collection consists of bracelets because it symbolizes a memory that a person holds onto. A person wears a bracelet to present a precious moment that either he/she had. However, after our class discussion on Wednesday, I decided to expand on this idea. I want to create a collage of objects that can be put onto a hand such as tattoos, watches, wristbands, rings, stickers, etc. I'm planning on mounting the project onto multiple canvases. I want it to be a series of painting, sketching, and magazine cut outs. The projects going to be simple and clean; 3 16x24 canvases with an arm being drawn. It's definitely going to come off as an abstract project. On the sketched out arm, I'm going to have all these drawn out items to bring it color. It's definitely going to resemble a collage.
Materials:
- 3 or 4 16x24 canvases
- lots of elmer's glue
- scissors
- pencils
- magazines
- oil paint
- cardboard
- exacto knife

Hi Christie,
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of a group of oil paintings for this assignment. I;m glad you were inspired to expand your idea based on class discussion. Maybe you already know this, but I would advise that if you are going to use oil, first use a clear gesso or matte medium over the collaged paper, let that dry, then finish the piece with oil.
have fun!

Christie- I love your idea... what if you could use the bracelets in a way during your painting process. Like as a stamp.. or just on a corner of each painting... just a suggestion...cant wait to see!!! :)
