The Visuals all about ME






Week 1 Homework
I want to know about YOU.
Creatively showcase Yourself through collage:
◦ Be CREATIVE
◦ Use ANYTHING to help VISUALLY show the details
◦ What background might you need?
◦ Use images from magazines, scraps of paper, 'unique found items' - fabric, packaging, labels,
patches, etc -- think 3-D as well!
◦ If you chose to add an image of yourself - be CREATIVE! If it's a photograph, try cutting it up,
divide it, marry more then one image into one…
◦ Please don't bore us with a collage of 'selfies'
