Online Assignment : Dada Collage- Create a collage by cutting up parts of photographs and reassembling in a new and thought-provoking combination. You may use photoshop for this project if you know how to use the program. Otherwise, use cut & paste method. Work in black & white primarily- you can use one color if important for your idea. You can zerox a color image or transfer to black & white digitally. 

Formal elements to consider: Dynamic composition, contrast of scale, value & theme, unity, illusion of depth of space. Format requirements: 8” x 10” , no white space, no words. Cut out subject matter very specifically(the outline of the shapes).

Create visual relationships that create a new meaning or associations-post image on your blog- consider this question when making your collage: What is dynamic about the association of images as well as the formal elements?
