Creating a
Photo Collage/ Photo Montage
Create a collage of your favorite memories. In this project, collect a
selection of photographs that you center around a personal theme. Make black and
white copies of these photos. You can make multiple copies of the same photo and
shrink or enlarge some photos. Cut them out and arrange them according to the
following specifications:
 | Choose one photograph to be the focal point and use the various ways of
creating emphasis to bring the viewer's eye to your chosen area.
|
| Arrange your photographs in a visually interesting way, using the
principle of Emphasis (above) as well as other principles.
|
| Be sure to use good craftsmanship in cutting and gluing. Neatness counts!
|
| Create the name of your theme as well as the name of the class, Photo
Design I, using letters from magazines, word processors, or just plain neat
lettering. Make sure they are arranged in a way that is interesting and that
enhances your collage rather than distracting from it.
|
| Use other materials in your collage -- construction paper, markers, pens
-- but only add, at most, one color. You may also add black and white.
|
| Look at the rubric for this
project and make sure you are covering all bases.
