Collage



I had never really thought about making a collage about my likes and dislikes. Well that was my assignment this morning for a class at quilt university. Quickly choose images that I like and dislike from magazines and make a collage of each. It was so easy to find images that I like and that pile was about 3-4 times larger than the other pile. I know some ads and images are not my favorite but do I dislike the image or text? I never thought about it that way before. I am not really sure why I chose some of the images in the bottom, dislike, collage. The images do not represent my style and I would not choose the items for my home. However, a few of the items in the picture I think would look wonderful in my friends living room. They are just not what I like.

The top collage of things I like was very easy to create. Ultimately most of the images I collected had to be put aside..... unless I wanted to wallpaper with the collage. Now that I have finished the two pages I can see the differences and similarities. The rest of the assignment involves making lists and writing about the collages. I really think this class will be exciting and have a large impact on the way I work. Thank You Myrna!
