successful compositions
Observe the successful compositions of past students who have cleverly reassembled their chosen packaging creating interesting compositions.
Learning Intentions:
In this artmaking extension lesson, you will extend your artmaking and build connections between your Artmaking and those of the artist Rosalie Gascoigne whom you have studied in Critical & Historical Studies in Term 1.
Understand the process of artist Rosalie Gascoigne by experiencing a similar making activity
Observe the attention-grabbing aesthetic of advertising packaging (bright colours, bold text)
Understand how packaging can be manipulated and re-assembled into a non-sensical collage
Success Criteria
Cut up the provided food packaging, and reinterpret the text intentionally into abstract designs.
Create a successful composition - utilizing assemblage to manipulate and arrange: colour, line, shape, rhythm, contrast and pattern to form an interesting design.
All pieces are re-formulated back into an A5 or 20cm x 20cm square composition.
The audience can re-engage with the packaging in a new way.
Photograph and document in digital VAD.
THE TASK......
Create a paper collage out of packaging.
Materials - Source your pre-printed packaging, or photocopies of packaging.
You will need enough packaging to create a 20cm x 20cm text assemblage.
Consider how you will cut up and rearrange the packaging to allow the audience to experience it as a cohesive artwork just as Gascoigne has.
Will you cut up and arrange the packaging in terms of grouping patterns, or colours, will you create large shapes and small shapes or will each piece be the same.
Observe examples of Rosalie Gascoigne's different compositions again this time a little more closely and look at the way she has grouped the text and arranged the coloured background quite differently in each of her works.
6. Next, Use scissors to slice it up into small pieces (keep them in a paper pocket in your VAD so they don't blow away!)
7. Re-assemble your pieces back onto an 20cm x 20cm piece of paper using a glue stick.
