Assemblage Project

This is the next step in my assemblage piece. After gluing the newspaper for the continents, I painted them green. I thought the piece looked too plain and unfinished after that, so I decided to add the oceans. Since I had to use recycled materials for this project, I decided on using plastic grocery bags for the water. I also thought that the thin plastic would add texture to the piece that may mimic water. I tore pieces of the plastic and glued it on to the cardboard. Next, I began painting the plastic bag blue which I will try to finish soon.
