Cut Paper

Part 3: Magazine Cut Paper Collage
You are to pick any children’s fairy tale and you are to make a cut paper collage for a vital portion of the book.
1. You are to make all items on the page from cut paper from a magazine.
2. You need to review proper examples of what the expectation is.
3. You CAN NOT create items from items that already exist. For example, if you have a person you cannot just cut out a person or piece together a couple of people to make a ‘new person’. You need to be creative with a concern for QUALITY.
4. You must pay attention to COMPOSITION and making sure that the illustration is CLEAR AND INTERESTING. You must pay attention to the ground plains.
5. You must pay attention to color use and making sure that you do not have everything pieced together in a way that destroys the UNITY of the work. PROPER PLANNING IS KEY.
6. You must make sure that your CUTTING AND GLUING IS VERY PRECISE!

The expectation was a minimum of 4-6 focused hours on rendering each final panel in order to create a quality product although skill level may have meant I needed to spend more. I spent a total of 4-5 hours rendering the final panel. (my story was from "Thumbelina")

The giant hand is supposed to signify Thumbelina's smallness, and how the thumb is actually monstrously sized, I think the concept is a little enhanced. Thumbelina and the Prince Cornelius are flying off on the bumble bee from off of the hand.
