Marion Faller

When we visited the Burchfield Penney Art Center we viewed the work of Marion Faller.  One of the techniques she used was using her photographs in order to create a quilt-like composition.

For our next project we will be cutting and reassmbling photographs in unique and interesting ways.  This project is very open-ended to allow for your interests and creativty to show.

Here are your criteria:

1. Select photos that fit a theme of your choice.
   1. You may use photos pulled from the internet.
   2. Bonus points will be given for taking your own new photos.
2. Edit them to enhance the composition.
   1. Some examples are:
      1. Multi-color = increase/decrease saturation
      2. B&W w 1 color = brightness/contrast, saturation
      3. Abstract = use filters
      4. One photo = various versions with different colors/sizes/contrast/etc
3. Plan and execute a design that brings your photos together.
4. Be sure it is well-crafted; clean cuts, clean glue.

Here are some examples:

By the end of class Monday 5/4/15:

• Have Color Wheel printed
