Some of the images in my collage were ( in no particular order):
- stacks of coins (particularly pennies)
- an upside down American flag in the forest
- Barbie dolls
- a doctor with a stethoscope
- a pie chart
- dollar sign
- pistols
- a tribute to an american soldier
- people on the beach
I looked at this collage last night and I thought for awhile as to what this compilation/collage is representing. After a significant amount of time my mind was still blank and I decided to sleep on it. When i revisited the image of the collage on my iPhone today something came to my mind that made sense. This collage is representing the sections that you would see in a newspaper. For example, whenever a U.S. soldier gets killed in action there is always a tribute to them in the paper. This is perhaps the front cover. The dollar signs and the stacks of pennies represent the econonic/financial section of the newspaper. The people on the beach can most probably be found in the culture section. Perhaps the pistols are meant for the crime blotter area of the newspaper? I know that the NY Post has a page every single day that recaps the crimes in NYC of the day before. I am still confused as to what the upside down American flag represents. I am looking forward to hearing from the group members as to why each image is placed where it is on the paper. The beauty of a college is the mystery and questions that the viewer has to deal with. Overall, I enjoyed this activity and hope we can do more like this one.
