To start off my mood for my collages is fearful. I wanted to achieve something unique, yet interesting within my pictures by adding some elements that dealt with a cartoony and realistic vibe within them. This first collage of mine added both the cartoon and realistic aspect of my images within it. I decided to incorporate images both from my tabloid and letter size images into it to give it a different appeal. The reaction I wanted it to be was that of me looking at something while also shrieking with having sweat drops. One thing I could’ve done better was by adding more sweat drops and to incorporate more body parts into my collage that was taken from my pictures.
My second collage was more on the cartoonish side and I decided to actually draw hair into my collage, but the more I looked at it I’ve decided that I didn’t like it. Once again I decided to add pictures from both my tabloid and letter size photos into my collage. The focal point of this collage is my large mouth and eyes almost as if it’s looking at something frightful, but that is the point of my entire mood/emotion. I’ve also decided that I wanted to add the lower part of my neck down to my sweater from my photo to give it that humanly look while also maintaining that it looks goofy. One thing I thought I could’ve done better was to make the hair darker so that it doesn’t give off the paper’s color.
For my third collage I wanted to try something different. For this exact collage I wanted to make me look like I’m actually hiding from something. So I’ve decided to carve off the dark picture of my sweater from my tabloid images so that it acted as a blanket. The hands are something that I’ve found in my little sister’s magazine with someone who was actually holding something, but I wanted it to act as if these hands were clenching onto the blanket. My entire point of this collage is to sway people into looking at the irregular colors and the different sizes of my hand. That’s what I wanted my focal point to achieve. One thing I could’ve done better was to add a head or maybe even a hat and a mouth. This collage gave me an idea for my final collage, but instead enhance it to make it stand out.
I really like the different style variations you tried exploring in your sketches. I find it cool to see and read about each individual approach.
