This week we will be looking through our photos and photos (and artwork) that are in the public domain and combining them in order to create a collage.
So for this new assignment, we will be using some public domain collages.
What the public domain means is that you have the right to download use and alter any image you find. You just can’t save an image and use it without the artist’s permission, but you can with images that are in the public domain.
These sites are great for browsing and figuring out what the look and feel of the collage would be.

Step 1: Download 5-10 images that speak to you in some way. What connections could you see to other images?
Step 2: Make a folder on your computer/chromebook that has all of these photos.

BeFunky – https://www.befunky.com/
Pixlr – https://pixlr.com/ – My fave!
PicMonkey – https://www.picmonkey.com/photo-editor
Fotor – https://www.fotor.com/
Place all photos on your Visual Journal.
Step 3: Take these photos into your favorite image editor.
Step 4: Start poking holes in them. Make selections, erase a part of it, what would go in the holes.
Step 5: See above for the photos I made with the public domain images.
Step 6: Bring in photos you have made into your editor.
Step 7: Work to bring these two different images together in some way.
Make two different collages. Turn them into Google Classroom as two separate .jpg images. Post the two photos, yours and the public domain images on your visual journal. Turn in the visual journal entry describing how you made these images along with the two .collage jpgs.
Two collages are due on Monday, 5/18.
