Jazz Green- Collage Artist

I have chosen to model the first print project in the style of Jazz Green. He does a variety of artworks, from paintings, to photographs, to collages. He uses various textures, especially in his collages, which is the aspect of his work that I will attempt to incorporate into this project.

Collage Artist- David Ball

           I have chosen to create my collage in the style of David Ball, a surrealist that works in collage/mixed media. I was really taken by the interesting creatures and landscapes that David creates with different imagery so seamlessly. I also am excited for the vast directions I can take the content of this piece by using the surreal styling to create a narrative possibly not even related to the image but by the components make up themselves.

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side

I used a total of four images for this project: the little girl on the left, the landscape, the picture perfect family, and the picnic supplies. I created an artificial divide in the grass, making the left side darker and less vibrant than the right side. I used the angled strokes filter to blur the image of the girl on the left. I also used a filter on the family; I believe it is the dry brush filter.

Collage Artist- Karen Landey

The artist I chose to look into was Karen Landey. She does various types of collages. Some are mixed media and some are just digital. I found her digital collages to be very nicely blended and the colours she used appealed to me. Unfortunately, most of her images do not allow for close-ups and they can only be viewed as thumbnails.
