Tissue paper collage

In class we did 3 different collages. one was news paper and the other two were in tissue paper but I used two different colours to make them relate to my own personal theme. 

Red tissue paper collage: 

Firstly, I ripped up small pieces of red tissue paper and layered them up onto the page using glue.

I then covered the newspaper in emulsion and moved some of the tissue paper and left it to dry but because tissue paper is very thin it takes a lot longer to dry.

This was the tissue paper after the emulsion had dried.

Finally, I used charcoal to draw on this tissue paper but this time it was a lot more rough and edgy.

I did the same thing with the green tissue paper:

Overall, I think theses collages went alright and I liked the different textures that each material caused. 

Newspaper Collage

In class we did 3 different collages. one was news paper and the other two were in tissue paper but I used two different colours to make them relate to my own personal theme. 

Newspaper collage:

Firstly, I ripped up small pieces of newspaper (small pieces work better), I then stuck them down onto the page using glue.

Secondly, I covered the newspaper in emulsion to give it a white effect. I then left the emulsion and left it for a couple of minutes. 

I then ripped off some of the newspaper and it gave this sort of effect and because the pieces were smaller they worked better when removing the paper and it give it more of an old, damaged effect.

With the pieces I had ripped off I stuck down onto this piece of paper and then covered it once again in emulsion.

Finally, whilst the emulsion was still slightly wet I used charcoal to grave in a make marks in the shape of my object. this was difficult because the emulsion was wet meaning it was difficult to leave marks.
