Collecting and Archiving as Creative Process

Assignment 1: Compile 15 images that together form a collection. Load the images on to the blog.
Provide a critique of each collection. Title your collection in the title field and make sure you add your byline (your name). For example: Wildlife Eating Orange Foods by Onetwo Three

Key questions to address in crits:
1. How cohesive is the collection?
2. Unity: How is the collection unified? Composition, subject matter, concept, etc.
3. Variety: Too much or not enough?

Pop Art collage example

Tom Wesselmann, "Great American Nude No. 27" 1962


"The erotic image of the spread-legged nude, her features left blank to avoid any suggestion of a portrait, is juxtaposed with cut-out images of milkshakes and ice-creams.  The paintings importance lies in its conspicuous demonstration of sexual freedom, painted at a time when nudity in the American media was still rare, and its inclusion of the direct imagery of the new consumer age."  The Art Book by Phaidon
