METAPHOR/SYMBOLIC - COLLAGE On the following slides, you will find

your library assignment and internet links that will help you accomplish your goals.

You only have two days in the library to locate your photos, pattern paper and written metaphor, so please use this time wisely.

You need all these requirements for your collage project when we return to the classroom.

Go to the next slide.

“Pittsburg Memories” Romare Bearden

LIBRARY ASSIGNMENT—DAY 1

1. We discussed symbolic/metaphoric images in class. For potential use in your collage, find three images that fit the description “symbolic” copy/paste them into a word document. Please think about what size they should be for your collage.

Images in Word tip: If they don’t all fit on the paper or you have trouble resizing, click the “text wrapping” button on the top toolbar, select “tight”.

Do not use copyrighted images, plenty of pictures are in the “public domain”.

CONSIDER:

Should all your images be small squares, or should some of them be larger for use in the collage??

How do you plan to use the image in your collage?
