Summer Artwork-Part 3

The last piece I did for my summer work was a collage of newspaper. I found a picture of my sister, edited it for more dramatic lights and darks, and set to work. I used all different parts of many newspapers to create this work of art. The values of this collage vary from very light to very dark, with a lot of variation in between. I wanted to make the picture more dramatic, so I simplified what was in the background, focusing more on the forms of her face and hair. This piece required a ton of detail and hard work, but I think it paid off!
