    REFLECTION

    Experience

    The lectures were interesting and fun I got a chance with a lot of hands-on activities. This is the first time I attempted a physical collage. This project gives me ideas on how to compose a physical collage The lecturer was helpful, and he shared tips on stressing the importance of composition where we use the golden ratio and rule of thirds. 

    Observation
    The step-by-step videos provided by the lecturer were helpful for to me revise and work on the collages when at home. Walking around the class and observing my classmates with their work was helpful when I worked on my own material.

    Findings
    Working on the digital collage, I find it fascinating to experiment on different tones on the subject matter. Learn about gradients and at the same time get exposure on techniques to make the subject matter pop. It was insightful to watch a video to make a cut out object blend into the background seamlessly. It was a eye opener when I had the opportunity to learn about how to recreate old photos and add new life into them by recoloring them.
