Collages

Here is the collage that I made for our Ray Johnson inspired project. I used acrylic paint, newspaper, magazine clippings, potato sack etc. The magazine clippings are from a 70's magazine. I noticed that the magazine featured quite a few advertisements for woman's beauty products, particularly hair die and stockings. I included the potato sack pieces to mirror the fishnet stockings, however it is not entirely visible in the scan. I was thinking of adding some text on the right, I feel like it needs something but I'm not sure. Comments would be appreciated.





These are some other paintings that I have done which have some collage elements. I'm not sure if they would be considered "collages" because they consist primarily of paint but do include some pictures and other materials. Most of these were don in high school for my AP art class. I haven't really been able to take many art classes at VCU as a psychology major which has been really disappointing. It actually makes me sad to go in the art building and know that I can't take art classes...
