Postmodern Abstract Art Book



After creating the Principles and Elements Panorama Art Book using the given instructions, I have recreated it by incorporating Postmodern Principles into the instructions. 

Postmodern Principles (PMP):
Appropriation, Juxtaposition, Recontextualize, Layering,
Text and Image, Hybridity, Gazing, Representing

Materials:
Magazines
Scissors
Glue sticks
Markers
Colored Pencil


1. Choose a single shape. Make 10 or more of your chosen shape.

2. Make these with variations of size or form. Experiment with the PMP Layering. Layer your shapes and paste down on first panel after discussing the technique of layering.

3. Create emphasis by adding images cut in the shape you chose. Paste to second panel.

4. Create emphasis and contrast by experimenting with text and image. Add text to your images on the same panel. Discuss PMP Interaction of Text and Image, how the text relates to the images, if the words are self explanatory or if more descriptive words are needed.

5. Recontextualize images chosen on next panel. Use markers or colored pencils to put your subject chosen in a different context.

6. Choose one more PMP for the last panel. See if you can incorporate images, shapes, or PMP from the earlier panels to create a sense of unity throughout all panels.
