Collage + Mount Dandenong

I really enjoyed researching collages because of the use of mixed media and the 3D effect. I have always enjoyed making collages because of the image you can create just by cutting and pasting. I also love the look of mosaics which can be done digitally these days. During class my favourite collage we were shown was 'Pearlblossum Hwy' by David Hockney. These are some other collages I also found that I liked:

Mount Dandenong

I went out the other day to take some photos of some landscapes/scenes that had a colour that really stood out. I went to Mt Dandenong because I love all the cottages and the rainforest as a background. I found some places that had coloured doors, signs and windows. I really like these photos but think I would need to do some editing to make them more brighter, vibrant and so that the colour in focus stands out more. I think these are some of the type of photos I will use for my digital collage as they are good back ground photos, but also have various items I could combine into this artwork.
