Collage Work

A few weeks ago, the class did a collage activity where we cut pictures from different sources such as magazines and put them together on a piece of construction paper. That was a lot of fun. I haven't done that for long a time. Anyway, the pictures shown below is my collage in its original form.


The message behind it is about how we, as humans, are destroying ourselves and our only home through war, pollution, and other things like that. My source of inspiration are current events. War and climate change are prevalent in the headlines these days so I thought I'd do my collage on those two. The pictures represent what we are capable of: love and hatred & preservation and destruction.

Below is the same collage edited with Photoshop using different layers of texts, custom brushes, filters, and the cloning tool.
