CREATE A TWO-PART PAINTING!

A 2-in-One Collage/Painting is Cool
MAKE A HUMDINGER WITH HINGES!

Materials:
  • 2 sizes stretched canvas
  • 2 sets hinges
  • screwdriver
  • paints, adhesives, brushes, images, text, art papers, assorted embellishments
  • cupboard handle or knob (optional)
Here's your opportunity to work on FOUR sides 
and create a work of art that can be viewed a number of 
ways! Paint, texture, and collage the backs 
of the canvases, too! Then join the two together 
so that the assemblage can free-stand if so desired. 
But the piece can be wall-hung too!
It's a versatile work. Be sure that wherever you're 
working, front or back, you unify the parts, 
making sure they look good together.
Note the handle on my example, below. 
A knob would have worked too.  
assemblage, tutorial, how-to paint
Viewers can pull the handle and open the 2-canvas piece!
This piece opens to reveal what you can't see 
in the single view here. And the back of the large 
canvas was finished properly, too! 
(I.E., turn the whole thing backwards and 
extend the small canvas, 
and you have a whole 'nother artwork!)
