family or friends?
A photo of self is called a "self-portrait"
- Photo of outside of
self versus inside self
X-ray - machine sees through into the body and takes picture
of bones
- Why would an artist
create a self-portrait with x-rays from his body?
- Do you think this
(image) is a self-portrait? Why/Why not?
Robert
Rauschenberg uses a lot of different things to make his
self-portrait, including many x-rays, photos, drawings and rubbings
Image 3 - Shapiro

lace, and buttons to create her art work
Where do we usually see these kinds of things?
Who usually works with these kinds of things?

is "Explode."
What does it mean when something explodes?
Why do you think she chose this title?

collage look like it is exploding.

Twins
- Mike and Doug Starn
are twin brothers.
They have been
making photos since they were 13 years old.
Inquiry -
Well-used Objects
When
someone gives you a photograph, what do you do with it? When
you have a toy or stuffed animal that you love very much, you play
with it a lot. It can't help but get dirty or rip in some
places.
- Mike and Doug handle
their photographs a lot, so when they them around, or take them
out put them away the photos become ripped or smeared from
touching.
Some people might say that their art is messy.
So why do you think someone might decide to make art that is
messy or not perfect?
- Mike and Doug Starn
used a lot of photographs, pieces of tape to make up their photo
collage.
Putting Things
Together - Collage Discussion
All of the
collages we looked at included many different things that the artists
put together to make a piece of artwork and tell a story about
themselves. Some of these items, like an x-ray, are usually
seen in other places, like a doctor's office. But when artists
combine them with other things, thy can be seen in a very different
and new way.
We're going to
look at some objects now. We'll show you them one at a time and
you can think about what the object is and where we usually see it.
Show object 1
(objects tbd)
Show object 2
Show object 3
- Place the three
objects together
- Now that the
different objects are together, what kid of story do they tell?
We looked at
three artists and saw the way they took many different things and put
them together to make one collage.
