Week_9

P_009 Graffiti Monster
Observation/Composition/Balance/Color Application


Goal: Choose one interesting composition from the graffiti on the work tables in Studios one, two or three (ONLY) and make that into a piece made up totally of cut paper.

Use a viewfinder and your camera to record the original. You will need a copy of this for your critique. (Take a picture of the graffiti you have chosen as subject matter with your viewfinder in place.  Using one of the “fiery” printers, print it and bring to crit.) Failure to present the original image in photographic print form WITH viewfinder in place will result in 1/3 deduction from your grade. No details may be added or subtracted. Graffiti from other places will NOT be accepted.

Procedure: Make yourself a viewfinder from a sheet of regular copy paper. It should be a 4 1/2 x 6". This is directly proportional to what will be your finished size of 18x24".

Color: You will also interpret this composition in color. All colors are open, but your choice in colors must support the imagery you chose to work on. How do your color choices help? The colors may be exaggerated or otherworldly if the composition calls for it. It is completely your decision.

Your own graffiti is not allowed. This would be considered as cheating.
No white paper may show through from picture plane. (white paper may be added)

May be presented either horizontal or vertical

Picture plane: 18x24" Bristol
Ground sheet 22x30" Bristol
