Your Project

• Create a small collage using your photograph and other found images that “advertise” yourself

• THEN…

(Ms King: Don’t forget to show the James Rosenquist video!)

You’ll enlarge it!• After your collage is done, you will grid it

and DRAW it 2x the size– Materials include drawing pencil and ONE

color pencil to be used selectively

Rosenquist said he was interested in people who advertise themselves.

How do YOU advertise yourself? What makes you YOU?

You can divide up your photograph or cover up a little bit with other images, but you must draw:• At least one eye

• Some hair

• Most of a nose

• Most of a mouth

Please note:• This a collage project about your identity.

– “ironic” because “nothing is original” like POP ART claims and you will be using popular images that aren’t necessarily about you until you “appropriate” them.

• This is a portrait project that uses the grid technique, drawing with value & shapes.

• If you are unhappy with your photo taken in class, email a photo of YOURSELF.– vjking@cps.edu

• You can bring in your own magazines/images for your collage
