This unit definitely fit its name, I was solving problems left and right. First, I didn't know what to do, and once I did, I had to make sure that the collage actually fit together. In the middle piece with the bears, I had to make sure it looked like the bears where behind the mountains, and that the beat was looking at the plane, and in the art piece thinking, I had to make sure the text fit within his head, as the art piece had to be thinking about art.
Because of all that I had to do, this is totally original. The magazine cover with the rhino on it is probably not being used for art anywhere else, and neither are the other two pieces. By taking a magazine cover with a picture, and making it into a blackout poem, it was made unique. Also, because the title is "Depart to vanishing Africa Now" I made it seem that part of the rhino was disappearing, as the rhino is part of Africa.
All of this helped me develop my art making skills, as I am not use to making collages. I had made them before, but had not been so precise, so the materials were familiar to me, but the concept of making the piece so exact was foreign to me. By making it seem that the bears were behind the mountain was the hardest part, as it had to be very exact, which is very meticulous work. Overall I was able to overcome all of my problems, and in the end I believe that I came up with three wonderful and original collages.
