AN EASY PROJECT (& more) FOR ANYONE!

HERE'S A QUICK, SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR MULTIPLE, DUPLICATE IMAGES OF DIFFERENT SIZES.

• Print out the duplicates on a copier that creates different sizes , or use an image-editing program to make the sizes smaller or larger. 
• ANOTHER IDEA: Make every other size lighter or darker, or positive vs. negative! You could even go color vs. grayscale for every other one!
• Trim away the white edges of each image if desired, and arrange them on a sturdy background before you adhere them.
• MORE IDEAS: Instead of symmetrical design and formal balance like my example below, try asymmetrical, informal balance in any number of ways. Here are a couple of former posts with more finished examples: digital collage! and another.

Wire Chicken Basket with Eggs



Collage/Painting

This photomontage was hand colored with watercolors and markers in some places on the black and white photos. Then I glued down the photos, an index print, and a few paint color samples, and finally added acrylic paints to help unify the composition.

Christmas Art! A Collage to Wish You Happy Holidays.

This 6" x 6" wraparound artwork can be wall-hung or placed on a tabletop easel. I used art papers, ink, and several acrylic mediums (in addition to the images, of course).
It was fast and easy to make. If you create something similar, consider a gallery-wrapped canvas. Tear or cut your papers first and arrange them without gluing, to check your composition. Then adhere them, and to the sides,too, and let dry. Add ink, crayon, or pen lines, etc., and let dry again. Finally, varnish the piece to protect it. Send me your own examples of this tute if you like...I would love to see them!

Successive Sizes of a Single Image=Impact

The example here was done digitally, but the idea works well with photocopies too! Tint each image differently if you wish. Try a number of arrangements until you're happy with the balance, unity, and overall composition.
