Think of a message you want to communicate!
This can be an emotion, a concept, something you are passionate about...
Sketch and research!
You are going to create an art piece using mixed media. This art piece can be a single canvas, or a diptych, or a triptych:
- size (canvas board or illustration board):
- (3) 10x12
- or (1) 18x24
- media:
- collage - at least 1/3 of the area - using magazine cutouts for color fill or communicating ideas;
- choice of paint - watercolor, tempera, or acrylics
- choice of graphic medium - marker, pen-and-ink, oil pastels, etc.
if you plan on more than one piece - they should look like a series - share a common theme, approach, composition, color scheme, etc.
