word collage
Life is full of challenges, we are so diverse that each of us reacts differently to the rough spots in life. In this project, we will choose a word or words that reflect a reaction to something challenging. Some of you will respond to the COVID situation, but it is not required. You are free to focus on other challenges of being a young person in today’s world. A word that keeps coming back to me during this pandemic is uncertainty. ‘we will see’, ‘it's hard to tell’, or ‘we don’t know’ are answers I hear a lot when someone has questions. These responses make me think of the word uncertainty. word examples: misunderstood: as a young person sometimes it feels like the world doesn’t understand how to treat me. Sometimes I’m treated like a young adult, sometimes as a kid. cabin fever: feeling frustrated because I can’t leave home, or get out to do the activities I like to do. endlessly waiting: fill in the blank, there are many things you can be waiting for. extremely bored: I’m stuck at home and not able to do the things I like. perseverance: I’m going to get through this next phase and get the most out of it. silver lining: this may be hard now but there is a lot of good that will come out of it. optimism: I like to think this is all for the best and it will turn out well. family: During this ‘isolation time’ I have spent more time with my family and it is great to have that time. what you have to do: 1 First, you will need to pick your word(s). 2 Gather materials, anything with letters will do...magazines, newspapers, packaging (cereal/pizza boxes)... you will have to be creative!! 3 Start cutting or tearing out your letters and arranging them into your chosen word(s). You should have enough letters for 6 or more sets of your word(s). 4 Cut more letters than you need, it will be handy to have choices when you start putting them together 5 Test fit your letters before you glue. 6 Think of your word(s) and see if you can choose letter styles that will help convey the message...large for loud, bright colours could mean excited, black and white could convey ‘blah-ness’. 7 If it looks like you will need space larger than a sheet of 8.5” x 11” find a larger surface to layout your words...poster board, cardboard, anything! 8 If you do not have glue, or if you have an interesting surface that relates to your word(s) be creative and lay them on something else. Remember you will want to choose a place where it won’t be disturbed while you work. 9 You will need to take a photo of the work to submit it to me so choose a place that has good lighting. Take detail (up close) pictures of the parts of the collage you are proud of! 10 Your final submission will be a digital picture, taken with a camera or phone...AND...You will also submit a pdf or word document with three sentences that explain why you chose the word(s)? Why is that important to you? What does the word mean to you in relation to the challenge? 11 Please submit your Images and documents to my email: [email protected] This project should take two weeks to complete. It’s more work than you think so start early! What are you marked on: -The pdf or word document that describes why you picked the word(s), and how the word(s) relates to you. -Use of space. Does your collage fill the page nicely? Does it look like you took the time to arrange it? or did you just throw it on the paper to get it done? -Does it look like you put some effort into the project? did you fun with it? -How creative was your use of different letters to spell the words? -How creative was your layout? This project will be due on Friday May 1st.- See sample projects and examples from the hightlighted artist on the blog Artist Greg Lemarche~art-class-word-collage-artist-1.html
