The triptych collage is called "Three Phases of Man". In this project I wanted to show humanity in different states. In the left side of the collage I chose to use volcanoes, sinking buildings and broken statues as the end of humanity. The primates and early humans represent humanity returining to nature. On the right side of the collage shows early man in a more cultured setting.The old architectures shows mankind in the beginning stages. The center triptych shows mankind in its present state, living in advanced technological civilizations. The television set represents mass communication and mastery of technology. I chose to use an ocean setting instead of a plain background because I feel that an ocean setting tells a story. The faded image in the background comes from a movie called "Jarhead". I chose this image because it best captures the intensity of war and best represents the fall of mankind.
Putting together the images to tell a story is the challenging part of this project. It would have been easier if I gathered all the pictures before putting them together in a collage. If I could do anything different for this project, I would sketch out my ideas before putting them together in one cohesive art piece. I would also use brighter colors and more "pop" type images to fit in with the theme of this project. I believe that I could also use more different images in variety. I take this first project as a learning experience and hope to gain from it.
i think your work flows well. . . i can understand what you are saying when you think it could have more easily flowed together if you had chosen your images prior to starting your project, regardless all three flow well into one another. And the concept behind your piece is very strong and shows a passion for your reason behind creating it! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI like your choice to create three images that fit together into one, rather than three seperate but similar images. It worked well.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept as well, and think that it does say what you intended it to say. Good job.
Although you had some complications it doesnt show. Your project fits well togeth and I enjoy the concept and the humor of the tv. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really like the island type feel of this work. The buildings and how they are distorted are a nice touch. The only thing i would suggest is without reading the tv image seems a little out of place, but in the same respect it makes it a little more interesting so you can guess as to what the meaning is. Really nice job on making it all flow.
