Assignment 4 – Remix and Collage Instructor: Claudia Laska Digital Image Development
Remix A remix in art often takes multiple perspectives upon the same theme. An artist takes an original work of art and adds their own take on the piece creating something completely different while still leaving traces of the original work. It is essentially a reworked abstraction of the original work while still holding remnants of the original piece while still letting the true meanings of the original piece shine through. ~Wikipedia
Collage A collage is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Digital collage is the technique of using computer tools in collage creation to encourage chance associations of disparate visual elements and the subsequent transformation of the visual results through the use of electronic media. ~Wikipedia
Description This assignment is the first step toward Project 4 - Remix and Collage. Your ideas and approach wi be determined through the research done for the paper and the ideas determined for your proposal.
Research Paper Write a full-page double-spaced paper that defines what is meant by visual remix. Investigate remix as it applies to music, video, and still imagery to get a good grasp of the subject and approach this usually takes. It is important to be aware of and include information about copyright law as it applies to remix and what the boundaries are for the imagery you will be using.
Sketchbook
Use your sketchbook to doodle and write ideas as you work out your concept for Project 4.
Project 4 Preparation: Create 4 Composites Be ready to present your Make each 9" x 7" between 150 and 200 ppi (switch orientation if desired). work for class critiques. Using vocabulary Each comp needs to have notable di erences - experiment! learned thus far will be Each comp needs to encorporate several (at least 5) images you have "prepared" in PS essential.

• The general approach to the project (parody, social relevance, activism, etc.) • The type of imagery you intend to use (keeping copyright law in mind) Use your own images primarily. Images that are not at the appropriate resolution will loose points!!! • The general look and feel (use adjectives and specifics that include mood and color)
