Finding a Focus

Jsjcreations.com

When looking for a focus to work with on a collage, I want something to stimulate me, something to use as a foundation for the image I want to produce.

Sometimes I use a photograph, other times I use my art that I have previously photographed. Each section must have an obvious focal point that will draw the viewers` eye into the picture. This will act as a stimulus and I can then work on creating fluency throughout the composition.

A face is an obvious focal point.

But other subjects can be just as effective when designing collages.
