Mixed Media, Collage
Texture plays a significant role in this artwork, adding depth and tactile interest. Different textured materials such as fabric, plastics, paper, paint, and oil pastels are used to represent the various elements of the building, such as windows, doors, or architectural details. These textures would create a sense of dimension and realism, inviting the viewer to explore the artwork through touch and visual observation.
Color would be another essential element in the collage, contributing to the overall mood and atmosphere. Vibrant and contrasting colors are used to depict the energy and diversity of a cityscape. I used a combination of bold and subtle hues to represent different parts of the building, creating a visually captivating composition.
Shape also was a key component in this mixed-media collage. Geometric shapes were used to represent the architectural elements of the building, while organic shapes were incorporated to convey a sense of movement and fluidity. The juxtaposition of different shapes would add visual interest and create a dynamic composition.
Through the skillful combination of texture, color, and shape, this mixed media collage captures the essence of a city building in a visually engaging and expressive manner. It invites viewers to appreciate the intricacies of urban architecture and evoke a sense of connection to the vibrant energy of city life.
