JohnsonMorgan-Lost&Found




 * 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?
 * I will be collaging multiple images and objects into an old found book or homemade book. I plan to do a series of 5 images, going from lost to found.
 * What will the subject of your images be? How will you develop your concept? What is your concept?
 * My subject will be myself and I developed my concept by thinking of what lost and found has meant to me. I often felt lost when I was younger, especially going through high school. Lately, I feel as though I am found -- mentally and emotionally I found what I have been trying to find my whole life. So my concept is to demonstrate the lost feeling and progress to the found feeling as my serious goes on.
 * How will you incorporate collage, montage, found objects or found photography?
 * I will be collaging each page of the five page series in my book. Each page will have found images and found photographs that I will then collage together to make one "image/page".
 * What type of lighting will you work in?
 * Depending on the photography that I chose, I will be using almost all the different lighting techniques. Mostly though I see myself using natural lighting photographs because they are the best quality looking shots in my opinion.
 * Are there other art processes you will need to use to create your piece? collage, montage, sculpture, fabric, recycled materials?
 * I will be using rice paper and recycled materials. Probably a lot of my modpodge and maybe even fabric and old artwork.
 * Why will you create the images you've planned?
 * To demonstrate my concept thoroughly and to really show that lost and found feeling. I want them to look worn and old, and then the final images to be new and found.
 * What principles of art do you hope to use and focus on?
 * Filling the frame for each page is important for this project. I also want to focus on balance, texture, color, and unity.
 * How do the images in the banner inspire your work?
 * The image I chose for my banner inspire my work because I want to use an old book and create my own lost and found book. I want to incorporate old photos or at least photos that look old like the one on the far right. I also want to collage in a new, unique approach like the middle image.
