Collage Painting

The third and final project in this unit was the collage painting project. For this assignment, we had to create a collage inspired by one of the collage art movements: Dada, surrealism, suprematism, and contemporary. I chose to do a surrealist collage by making a dime be the sun, and have apples, coins, and watches as people's heads. After we finished creating our collages, we were assigned to recreate them with paint. The purpose was to make sure we were able to accurately mix colors. I think that I did really well on the coin, which I thought was going to be the hardest part. I took my time and it came out really good. I think that I could've done better with the coin and watch because those were the parts of the collage that were the most detailed other than the coin. If I could do this project over again, I would choose less detailed components for my collage. In the pictures below, the one on the right is the original collage, and the right one is the painted collage.
