When we’ve been talking about collage it seems we are so focused on the whole that we never really got around to talking about the individual pieces all that much. Although the point of a collage is the whole itself, the pictures and parts used to make it are just as important in stating the overall point as the final product (as they are all contributing factors).
As a result, we must also concern ourselves in these last few days of our project for Unit 1 on what the images we are using say for themselves and then how they communicate with one another when placed next to each other. If an image communicates well with its counterparts, but fails to deliver a coherent message on its own, does this damage the collage or is it a justifiable weakness?
This brings about the idea of common themes within our pictures (obviously the African Famine, but there are other themes as well) that we must appreciate. So when we post our pictures against our posters, we need to ask ourselves what each picture itself is saying before we ask what the board is saying.
