The main body of this painting is green and yellow, which is a good expression of summer, and the composition is made from a top-down angle

The painting is dominated by black and green, with ceramic shapes to load willows, boats and fishermen. A few simple strokes can be seen that this painting contains a strong Jiangnan style.

  The words at the top are the largest, allowing for a more at-a-glance look to let the viewer know what it's about and to visually grab the viewer's eye. Immediately below that is a paragraph of small print introducing the content. All around is a collage of large, medium and small objects to flesh out the piece.

This pair is content-based so the content panel takes the lion's share, dominated by yellow and blue.

The professor asked me to re-collage this one, and the format needs to be large and small, and helped me re-collage one.

The final product is as follows：

week1:

feedback:The professor asked us to bring our own tools and magazines to class, recreate the work we had made at home, and instructed us to make further revisions.

REFLECTIONS

This week our teacher asked us to find three great posters from the internet to do an evaluation summary. I can see there is a lot of great work going on to learn from. And we were told to buy magazines and scrapbooking tools to make collages.
