What have we learned?

We know that illustration collage is a

technique that involves sticking

various papers and materials onto a

surface to create an image.

How we can use Illustration Collage in

our work?

What do we need to start?

An A3 image with a PERSPECTIVE VIEW

Trace a LINE DRAWING

What is this called?

A LAYOUT!

Re-trace or TRANSFER your LAYOUT

onto your A3 white card.

What problems can you encounter

when you transfer the image?

You need to remember to turn your

tracing film over to transfer the

GRAPHITE!

A mirror image appears if you do not

trace on the back and then the front

again!

Next CLEAN UP your line

This does not involve a

Dyson or Hoover!

It means strengthen your line

Next decide which materials and

processes are appropriate for each

section of your picture.

It is a good idea to PAINT the sky.

You can use Sgraffito, Sponging, materials from newspapers

and magazines, wallpapers and fabrics in other areas.

YOU WILL NEED YOUR TRACING FILM IN ORDER TO TRACE

EACH SHAPE OR SECTION ONTO THE MATERIAL OF YOUR

CHOICE.
