Lost and Found 1. How will you create a complex composition? Will you use multiple images collaged or montaged into one or will you do a series of images 3-5 that are printed and displayed together? For my project, I will use multiple images and collage them together, forming a complex series of images.

2. What will the subject of your images be? How will you develop your concept? What is your concept? Recently, my family and I discovered a path near our house that leads back into a prairie, and along the side of this path are some old, abandoned train cars, tires, bricks, motors, chairs, and other long-forgotten items. After seeing these, I thought these subjects would work well with our theme of "lost and found." My concept, then, is to collage these abandoned, lost objects that I found in a way that looks like they all fit together. I plan to use photoshop to do this, and I may decide to print out some of the photos to combine them together on an interesting background, like a newspaper, perhaps.

3. How will you incorporate collage, montage, found objects or found photography? I plan to incorporate found objects (the abandoned train cars, tires, etc), possibly in combination with photos that I've found.

4. What type of lighting will you work in? I want to work in natural sunlight, to display the objects in their natural setting.

5. Are there other art processes you will need to use to create your piece? collage, montage, sculpture, fabric, recycled materials? I may use recycled materials like old newspapers or maps to go along with the theme of lost and found objects, and put them together into a collage.

6. Why will you create the images you've planned? I'm creating this to show that we can find unexpected things in unexpected places, and that these lost and abandoned objects can still serve a purpose.

7. What principles of art do you hope to use and focus on? I hope to focus on unity and rhythm in this piece to create something that is holds uniformity, and has a sense of continuation and rhythm all throughout the piece.

8. Post 3 images that will inspire your work. These could be images you've found or come from my pinboards. Post the 3 images in the form of a banner and explain how they will inspire your work.

These images all have a variety of elements that overlap one another, which is something I would like to try when creating my piece. They also have bits of newspaper and combined objects, which is something that I want to add into my piece.
