In this project, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your creative prowess by designing an abstract collage composition using the custom color palettes you've crafted from your photos. This project is all about embracing the freedom of expression, experimenting with shapes, and celebrating the harmony of colors.

Photo Selection and Palette Creation

Choose a minimum of three photos that hold sentimental value or evoke strong emotions. These could be pictures of cherished memories, breathtaking landscapes, or anything that inspires you. Choose 5 to 6 colors from each photo to create three distinct custom color palettes.

Pull together your materials and have fun painting!

As a final touch, write a brief reflection on your creative journey throughout this project. Share the inspiration behind your photo choices, the process of crafting your custom color palettes, and the emotions conveyed through your abstract collage. Present your finished pieces to the class, embracing the opportunity to discuss your artistic choices and celebrate your fellow classmates' creations.

Remember, this project is all about embracing your individuality and expressing yourself through abstract art. Let your imagination run wild, and enjoy the liberating experience of creating a color palette that resonates with your heart and soul. Happy creating!
