I invite you top play the music
while scrolling over this Memory Lane Collage
Memory
Lane:
Small Collage
with the initials
of my Mom's, my twin's and my brother's
last (and my maiden)
name:
"PT" Polman Tuin
My Mom, an educated pianist,
played this
music when we were little
kids
Kinderzehnen by
Schumann
Planning a collage:
When I
plan a collage I try to think how to
express its mood.
Establishing a pattern in a collage can be
done by including pieces that repeat
shapes.
Repeated shapes, tones and colors all set
up visual rhythms that create a sense of
movement and encourage the eye to
"travel" over the piece.
The diagonal shapes give a strong tonal
contrast.
