Final Project Post

Originality:

We got inspired by the collage style of art. Although, while doing our research, we realized that most of these collages were square or rectangular. This seemed usual because through shapes and forms we get the opportunity to share so much more meaning through any art work. This is why for the final project we created three different panels that were shared on the side of the main collage piece. Two of them were heart shaped to show the happiness music could bring to someone’s life. On the other side, we created a broken heart shape so signify the more touching and tender side of songs that could be more emotional.

Meaning:

This art piece was mostly focused on how and why there is fandom around artists and bands. We built off our main subject “music and effect”. Then, we choose to go with a collage themed project. Then, we found beautiful word and lyric collages that were created by fan accounts. This connected all the pieces we wanted to propel our main message. Music and song lyrics definitely touch us all emotionally but especially these fans that feel connected to the various artist that sing these songs. They feel a deeper connection emotionally maybe because they could find themselves in the story the song is telling. The perfect way to illustrate visually the “music and effect” subject was through fan based art.

Title: Music and Effect

Work expertise:

We didn’t want to just print out these sheets of song lyrics and simply show them to the class in this format. We wanted to throw in our own little twist to the project and carefully pick and choose from the collage sheets specific lyrics. We incorporated only some parts of the fan art that we found was most significant. We also added our own personal creative touch to the whole project but adding colour to some parts of the structures.
