Assignment 6.2 - Landscape Collage

Another Collage day! Well, this one went a lot smoother than last week's, even though there was more involved with this one. In total, this one probably took me about 10 hours to complete over the week of working on it. Most of it was finding the right images and figuring out where I wanted them.

This week's image is somewhat based on the style of artist Sherry Levine shown on the Collage Assignment outline:

It is also based on an image I found online:

I started by finding a silhouette I thought would fit well with my subject, Canadian Wildlife, and placed guidelines over top of it so I could accurately draw it and cut it out.

Then I drew the image and cut it out:

Then, I spent hours finding the right images I wanted for my collage. I saved them and sized them to the approx. size I required, and started organizing them on photoshop:

I then printed the images and started cutting them out, taking my time with getting as close as I could to the image and making them as detailed as I could:

Then I started painting the paper, both the top layer and bottom layer:

Then I started taking my images and started organizing them, and reorganizing them, onto the image itself:

Then, I finally finished my images by gluing the images down onto the bottom layer, and the layer on top. I allowed for some of the top layer to raise to give it more of a 3D look, to make it look deeper than it is:
