composition & narrative using collage

It's amazing what can be produced from magazines with the help of cutting and sticking!  

Firstly, we looked at analysing images by working through a checklist of elements to consider.  Two of these are composition and narrative.  

Composition is the layout or arrangement of the components of an image.  It also includes the space deliberately left around it.  

The narrative is the story which can be read from the image.  The narrative is subjective and depending on the viewers' sensibilities, different meanings can emerge from one image.  

Many art galleries have interpretive information alongside artworks to help but I would recommend having a good look at the work yourself before you read their sign.

Following on from last week, we also thought about line and brought in how colour plays a key role too.  Then we experimented with images from three different types of magazine to produce the work below.  Even in a relatively small group, we found the images made, evoked different narratives.

Well done everyone!
