Week Nine – Collage

Collage.

A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

You will cut up various advertisements and collage them into your own design. Once again pay attention to the basic principles as well as elements of design. This is a required project.

We will review for the test.

The test is four parts. One part will require you to match certain principles of design with their definition. You will be required to list the 7 elements of design (Line, Value, Color, Form, Shape, Texture, Space). You will match historical events with the years they occured (see week eight for the timeline). And you will also write a brief paragraph critiquing an advertisent based on the principles and elements of design.
