Little People
In this mixed media assignment you will be creating a 3-Dimenstional scene to display your little people (provided to you) with both hand made objects and found objects. You must also create or arrange a background for you scene. Your scene must be displayed in a well taken photograph and this assignment is as much about photography as it is sculpture. You must use and make objects in your scene that allow the objects to be viewed differently than originally intended (examples on how to do this are listed below artist example photos). You are required to make or assemble some of your piece. No part of your photo should be photoshopped or digitally edited. You can find inspiration from the examples below or those that you see online but you should not replicate any image or idea made by another artist.
