About the final project for: Creating Botanical Collages from Scratch

Creating Botanical Collages from Scratch

“Thank you very much for your participation in the course. Hope you enjoyed it a lot! Keep in mind that analog collage requires different shapes of cutouts and textures. Prepare your material and get inspired. And for working with plants, look at their design and structure so you can make the most of their shape on the page. From my project, I came up with a list of essential steps that I would like to see in your presentation. · Define your theme with engagement. · Make a draft, drawing or composition of your idea. · Select interesting images with different textures and different ways of cutting. · Handle the color palette issue with care. · And lastly, use your creativity when photographing your collage to finish defining the atmosphere of the scene and finalizing your work.

Now I'm curious to see your art with your ideas and creative process. Gather all your images and share your project by clicking the "Create your project" button. Your publication will be part of your portfolio here at Domestika and will be a space for you to showcase your work in the community. Have new ideas, create alternatives, think about future projects, enrich your creativity. Also, I invite you to give feedback and comment on the work of the creative community. Take the opportunity to network! Whenever possible, I will also comment on the works and follow what is happening in the forum. To the next!”
