Art x 3

The assignment that we had was to create a collage based on celebrities. Not only was that a challenge, but a twist was thrown it. Each student had two days to start a collage, then it was passed on to another person. After that, each student had two days to continue an already started collage, then we switched one last time. The collage I started with looked really great and within the first two days I became attracted and didn't want to let it go. After that, I saved some of the ideas that I had for my final piece. The last collage that I had that is now my final piece was the sample that my teacher was doing, that didn't have much to do with celebrities so I had to make it my own. More into the celebrity theme, I think that being a celebrity is about money. Being someone who is famous and well known, you are always around people with money and you may even have a lot of money yourself. Some celebrities are actors, actresses, or musicians, but some people just become famous for random reasons and they instantly have the fame and fortune that not many people have. Another thing that makes you a celebrity is the paparazzi and the names and stories that come out about you. Whether it's good or bad, you become more recognized and make a name for yourself. A lot of people look up to celebrities, thinking that they are perfect when they really are just normal people, which is symbolized at the top middle of my collage with the words and money signs around it. It is also symbolized with the words underneath the faces in the middle to the left. I had a good experience with this project and I enjoyed the creativeness of switching papers every few days. It taught me that I can make something into my own even if I don't have any idea what I'm starting with. I think my collage came out nice and was very good and symbolizing what I think a celebrity is like.
