Collage

I have made this collage to look like the sun. I did this because I am a very bright and happy person and I’m always trying to make people feel their best. For about my friends and family that are the most important things to me I have put them in the sphere portion of the sun. My interests begin with the paint of “The Dance Lesson” by Degas. This includes my love of dance as well as most all of my pets! I can usually be found dancing, playing with my animals, or doing art projects. Belmont of course is at the top I love the flowers at Belmont so I really wanted to show them. Then at the guitar sign we have my community. I live just outside of Nashville and there are so many beautiful things to see. My favorite thing to do is go around with my camera taking pictures of flowers and birds, and who could resist some Long Horns? Next I have the nation coming straight down from the sun. In the nation section I’ve shown recent events/controversies, and how we as a nation must stand strong no matter what and always support the troops.

Decisions: I have chosen all of these things because they represent who I am, what I enjoy and where I come from.

Color:  Colors is particularly hard but I have done the school with reds tying them together, my interests all have some color of black in each picture, my community uses lots of blues and greens, and for the nation, you guessed it Red, White, and Blue.

Light: I have done light and dark in this by spreading them out randomly like the light and dark spots of a flame. It would be cool if they could move around like a flame but they can’t.

Texture: The plastic wrap over the sphere gives it a more wild untamed texture, as well as, the brush strokes I have used to create the flames.

Volume: Although I didn’t use cut outs I think my Paper Mache sphere gives the project a good bit of volume.

Line: This would definitely be off center with a use of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.

Space: The background to my project is the flames, and like flames we can see them randomly trying to take over the foreground but with nor success.

Scale: Although the pictures of me are on the sphere they are the least important to me. I care more about all of God’s creatures and being sure they are well taken care of than I do myself.

Symbolism: This whole thing stands for something else. It stands for who I am. I was given the Lakota Indian name of Wildfire. This represents me, and my spirit to be free and always burning, warming everyone’s hearts, brightening the day.
