Collage

We did a great exercise in painting class today. We painted various combinations of colors, white, and black on some lightweight paper. Next we cut and tore the papers into pieces and created a small collage on a piece of scrap mat board. The challenge was to use one of the standard compositional formats, and make the values balance in a contemporary nonobjective piece. It’s a wonderful learning tool - regardless of the students level of proficiency - and one I’ve enjoyed doing in the past. Glad to be reminded of it again.

I finally got the car into the car wash today - not the drive-through, but the kind where you have to get out of your car and wait for the guys to get it all polished. It's nice to be able to see through the windshield without the salt scum.
