Marino Choice Board 11
For my choice board I wanted to collage using vintage 1968 magazine images. I wanted it ti look cool but at the same time look like a vision board. My main portrait is going in the middle of the piece.
Joe, this is an excellent compositional approach! I am glad to see you experimenting with images and text, as well as some of the transfer processes. For the portrait, what if you rethought what we can consider as a portrait...does it have to be the full face? Could it be multiple faces? Think Andy Warhol’s repeating Marilyns. You could borrow the repetition principle employed by the Pop Artists of this same period to reinterpret/revisit how to capture not only the physical likeness of your subject, but the context and time in which she lived. I also am very drawn into the juxtaposition. If the phrase “Look great right now” and the man with the smoking gun. It adds a narrative element for me-and as someone who has studied a lot of Feminist theory, it starts to suggest maybe a darker side to societal expectations of women. I’m excited to see you infusing layered meaning and content into your work that engages the viewer and invites participatory meaning-making.
I love your composition with putting some faces right side up and others down. I also really like how you adding overlap of words and emphasis on facial features throughout the piece. Great job!

ReplyDeleteI love this media piece. It reminds me of older times, but not too old. What is your main portrait going to be of? A person like last time?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of a vision board! I think it is a great background layer for a portrait and will make your piece really intesting.
