This paintings were really funny to do. I added collage to my art to make fun and great pieces, if you do it right. The first one, I did on health care, and how you need money to have it. I feel like everyone should have insurance, even if they can afford it. I used a red back ground to symbolize blood that has been spilled because of people not having insurance. I kinda messed this piece up, because I spray acrylic coating on the painting first, when really I need to just spray the tissues. It still was fun adding collages to make the picture to show meaning and point out a issues.
Now the second one turn out much better. I used different colors to make kind of a ocean back ground and then add some Japanese influenced fish to make the painting come alive. That's the good thing about painting if you mess up, you can always try again and make it better. I really like both of this pieces and will defiantly being doing collages in the future.
