Edy Wong, A Child's Imagination, magazine collage, 13.5"x9", 4/26/10, FCS art classroom
I really went out of the box with this one. I discovered that I really liked working with collage because I can make the piece abstract by combining different pictures of flowers together and forming a story out of it. This piece is basically depicting what a child imagines. In this case the little girl is imagining flowers and as you can see the flowers are all bigger than real life because a child's imagination is creative and usually doesn't conform with real life. After all, that's why we call it imagination, right? The white thought bubble is full of words because the girl is making up her own story and her creativity continues in the world around her as seen by the big flowers and grass around her. It sorta reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
