Many of my classmates felt that my project communicated an impending sense of doom. I was really trying to say that it was my birthday.
Use collage and juxtaposition to create a figurative (head and/or body) self portrait that is a patchwork of your interior emotional states, your aspirations and frustrations, the ideal selves that make you who you are...
Use only larges images from the web, you cannot scale these images up, only down, and your images should show no signs of visible pixelation or pixel dirt
Look to Dada artists Raoul Haussman and Hannah Hoch for inspiration
You may look to past classwork for examples, but keep in mind that their constraints and specifications were somewhat different than yours.
Use an equal number of photos and pre-digital artwork (paintings or illustrations created without obvious signs of digital manipulation)
minimum of 24 found images (so a minimum of 12 found photos and 12 found artworks)
