Assignment 1
Search for photographs of yourself from different angles. The full face, three-quarter of the face and the profile. Make sure the photographs or copies have the same sizes. (Enlarge or reduce them on the photocopier if necessary).
Make various collages in which you combine the different angles, using the photographs or copies of the photographs. Cut and paste the different viewpoints into a cubistic self-portrait.
Use a fine-liner to emphasize the characteristic lines of the portrait. Use it to create surfaces on the portrait by emphasizing the light points and shadow parts as well.

COLLAGE
The word collage comes from the French word meaning ‘paste up’. A collage is an arrangement or composition made up of pieces of torn or cut paper, cloth or other materials. It may include newspapers, bus tickets, labels and many other common items. A collage could be made up of textured materials such as wallpaper, sandpaper or sweet wrappers. These materials may form the whole or part of a two dimensional work such as a drawing or a painting. Collage was developed early in the 20th century by the French Cubists.
