Becoming well-rounded.

       I am currently taking a 2D Design class at RIT; it revolves around creating art with two-dimensional concepts. This is a project I just finished. We started out by distorting a picture of ourselves to create a "monster", then recreate it via textured collage. For my collage, I used different tones of the same image of fire for my skin, water for my shirt, and wood for my hair. I used soft images of glitter and wispy clouds for the background to give it the illusion of depth of field that a photograph may have. I went literally insane creating this, and I may have consumed too much glue one way or another, but I'm happy with the result.
