MAGAZINE IMAGE SEARCH

Be open to images that call out to you. Pull them out and put them to one side.

TEXTURE RUBBINGS

Overlap and overlay texture rubbings – lots of layers can create interesting terrain to create in!

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Remain alert to what emerges on the page. Allow yourself to be led by what you see in front of you… Follow your intuition…
You may feel lost at times but that is natural because you are being adventurous, exploring different possibilities. Try different juxtapositions, move magazine/collage elements around on the page… Try making rubbings on some of the magazine images with acetone/oil and a rag.
When something excites you, go with that, stick it down and see where it leads you.
Some things will get covered up, other things will emerge.
