Shadow Pass

I'm taking an Elementary Art class this quarter. Our first assignment was to create something similar to Faith Ringgold's Tar Beach using our childhood memories and imagination as inspiration.

My motto for the class is this: just because this is an elementary art class, it doesn't mean that the art I create has to look like an elementary student made it!

Here is my piece:

 

It's a mixed media collage. And yes, I did use real wire to make a fence. It's not perfect, but I like it that way. I wanted the bottom part of the fence to look like it was cut because we really did cut the fence in real life to climb through to play in "Shadow Pass".

 

Here is a picture of some others:

Leni, I really like your collage! There are some days I just feel so un-artistic, so I'm always impressed by other people's creativity.
