Words and Works from Sherry Studio Graduates Click the image to view more works

"Attending Sherry's art class not only instrumentally improved my technical drawing abilities, they taught me to truly ask myself what it is I cared about and wanted to express through the medium of art, and the confidence and creativity to carry them through, which has served me time and time again in my current pursuit of a minor in art. Although I plan to become a physician, art is something that I will always be passionate about and be a part of my life, and I'm so thankful for all of Sherrys patience, kindness, guidance, and friendship."- Jennifer Ding RBHS/Harvard University

The Idea

This is a fun way to use a view finder and create an effective collage. Using a viewfinder helps you to focus on something and not get distracted by what's around it. It will help you pay close attention to the image that you are trying to create. A collage is a picture made from small pieces of paper.

The Plan

You are going to choose a view to turn into an exciting collage. You can choose a person, an animal, a building, an object or just a view. Choose anything you like.

You Need

A simple view finder. You can easily make this by cutting a square (5cmx5cm) out of a piece of sturdy card like a cereal box.
A pencil and a sheet of paper (A4 would be good).
Scraps of gummed or coloured paper. You can also use torn pieces of paper from magazines, newspapers and wallpaper.
A glue stick.

Do it!

Find somewhere, either indoors or outside, where you think you will find a view you want to turn into a collage
Use your viewfinder to look around you at different views and choose the one you want to work with.
Make a light pencil sketch of your view but only use outlines, you don’t need detail.
Now add colour to your sketch by using the torn scraps of paper to build up the picture you want to create within your pencil lines

Top Tips

Hold your viewfinder at arm’s length, keeping your elbow straight.
Spend a little time looking at different views before you make your decision about the one you want to work with
Think about the way different views look to you when you look at them this way. Are some views more effective than others? Why?
Tear your paper rather than cut it. This gives your work a much more natural finish
Don’t forget that you can use a view finder to help you focus on something specific when you are drawing and painting too
