Assignment: Create two collages – a traditional collage made of magazine photos and pasted on an art board, as well as a digital collage that illustrates the meaning of a piece of literature you may have studied in your English class.
Seniors are required to do only one collage, either traditional or digital.
Examples
Traditional collage, using magazine photos, glue and scissors
Digital Collage, using Photoshop and words from poems from your English class

2. Show a strong center of interest in both collages.
3. Create a digital collage that illustrates the meaning of a poem you might have studied in English.
Questions:
1. How do you show "good technical skills" in a collage?
2. How can you create a strong center of interest in an artwork?
3. When you have finished your digital collage, could someone look at the combination of your words and images and understand the meaning of the poem?
