I decided to do a day in the life of a gardener. For three years I was apart of a gardening volunteer club and I enjoyed the experience. It was long moments in time when you really interact with nature and I really treasured those moments. Not only do you get to to plant, but you are able to look at nature up close. In the collage I want to focus on the gardener and the up close details of plants, flowers, trees, and grass, because that is what the gardener sees. For my drawing addition I am either going to draw the gardener or some flowers. And my personal photo addition it will be the same: either the gardener or some flowers from my own garden. The background I plan to be up close view of grass, and maybe some space for a bright blue sky and the sun. If necessary, with different plant textures I want to create bushes where the flowers will grow from. In my thumbnails I did quick sketches and focused on the composition. I want a lot of movement in my collage so I might take a direction in repeating objects. I want the gardener to be a direct focus, so he/she will be placed somewhere in the middle. Along with grass, bushes, flowers and trees there will be some incorporation of dirt, because dirt is important when it comes to gardening. I'll also incorporate the tools that a gardener uses, such as a hand shovel and a watering can.
This video is a music video of a garden's sounds. With the exception of the gardener's voice, I love that he gathered all the sounds a garden makes into a music video, like a collage of sounds.
