Culture Clash

Purpose:

• To create a Clash of Cultures by creating your own Photo montage, combining images from Beijing, China and Yarmouth, Maine, USA;

• To further develop your Photoshop knowledge and skills;
• To create a “surreal” landscape by montaging a variety of photographs;

To know, use, and understand the Four Collage Techniques to in your Photo Montage: Juxtaposition/fragmentation, Point of View, Scale Change, Overlapping

This project helped to teach me about using photoshop and how to use photoshop to paste images together.  Some of the challenges I had was not knowing what tool to use to create a certain look.  I also had trouble being neat and careful around the images as I was using the eraser tool.  I fixed these by starting over when I needed to and experimenting with all the different buttons. Some of the successes were learning about the different tools. I also was able to create an image that looks neatly erased.

Juxtaposition/fragmentation: Two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect.

Point of View: The position from which something or someone is observed.

Scale Change: How much something has changed in size. 

Overlapping: When two or more things cover the same space or area.

The waves flowed on the beach.  The buildings towered over.  The hills went on for miles.  The sun's rays warmed our backs.
