Rex Ray Collage

The fourth garde artists have been studying the artist Rex Ray.  We learned about the process he used and his motivation. This was a follow up lesson after our color theory lesson. First, the artists had to create the papers they were to use on their collages, they also had to paint a board or a book using a masking technique. They had to make many sketches of  their ideas. They were challenged by having to think about whether their sketch would translate to a collage. Then they had to cut and paste. I was not sure if these would be any good, this is the first time for this project and I have to admit I am very excited at the results.
