Monday 3/28. Work session
Prelim critique: Wednesday, 3/30
Final submission, class viewing: Wednesday, 4/6

Create three thematically-related images that make use of other photographs (and other kinds of images) as a primary material composited together. Component parts might be "normal" photographs, digitally altered photos, textures, transparencies, drawing, painting, text, etc.

Finished works should be layered photoshop files, 8.5"x11", 360 dpi. All components should be from high resolution sources, shot or scanned by you.

Suggested components/layers

Portrait close-up
Texture layers
Color layers
Place layer (landscape, sky, interior, etc)

This aesthetic makes use of layers and transparency, exploring how the various images interact and bleed together. The goal is not to create a seamless composite, but to draw attention to the constructed quality of the image. The images should have a concise theme, concept and/or aesthetic.

Reference the images and websites below (as well as others you find along the way) for inspiration.
