Surrealist collage

Collage 11x8.5 - painted collage 12x9

The story behind my art is I wanted to create a collage with things that I like or find interesting. So I put a horse, chicken, and a car. I wanted to give my art a story rather than just taking a bunch of random things and sticking them to the paper.

The materials I used were construction paper, an old calendar, an old book, magazines, glue to create my collage. And acrylic paint, paper, and a pencil to create my collage painting.

The way I made this was by starting off with looking through old papers and magazines to create my collage. After I made my collage I started by sketching the basic shapes on to my paper I was painting on. And started mixing the colors of my hills and sky. After I was done that I painted the sun yellow and started on the clouds. When I finished that I painted the chicken with the wallet and the horse. Once I was finished with everything I went back through to do some finishing touches then I was done. Something I could improve is the color matches. I could try to fix the clouds, horse blanket, and give the car some more highlights where the light is reflecting off it.
