For my final project, I will be working with the book My ’70s Book: The “When I Was A Kid…” Book For The Generation That Grew Up In The ’70s<\/em> by Darryll Sherman. In this book, the author is reminiscing about the good old days and various forms of play that he participated in as a child. He talks about how he played outside, played board games, played cards, played the piano and various other things. He also comments on how children’s play now is so different from what it was back then. Nowadays, play largely involves technological devices. He personally prefers his version of play (and I agree with him!)<\/span><\/p>\n

I chose the book after the collage workshop. I was lucky enough to find a story that fit my collage. Currently, the collage shows a man (the author) recounting his childhood to his wife. Underneath them are the memories of his play. The chess board represents the board games that he played. The three characters in the front are the author, his brother and his sister who he mentions in the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that I have the book, I will add more elements from it to the collage such as music and instruments. I will also add a quote from the book. I will do some more collaging and draw somethings by hand or use what I will learn in the digital workshop. I am excited to finish this project!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also after making this collage, I really admire Max Ernst. Cutting and pasting images turned out to be so much more difficult than I had initially anticipated. I commend his patience and\u00a0how quickly he completed entire stories completely in collage. Props to him!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
