Collages

Collages can be an effective (and fairly impressionistic) way to document the holistic sense of time spent in a place, on a journey, at a project, or in a mindset. Bus schedules, bits of bus posters, candy wrappers, newspaper scraps, political flyers, photographs, movie tickets; anything flat enough to be pasted on paper can go into a collage. (Don't forget your own droodles and sketches) Collages are very good at giving a general impression of an experience; it is much more difficult to do a collage that is easily interpretable as referring to specific events, processes, or itineraries. Collages are good for introducing ideas, or concluding ideas.

Try it for fun (without the pressure of doing it for the Portfolio). You don't even really need to pick a topic. If you just collect bits and scraps that you come across in the course of a day, you will almost without trying be able to compile a sort of impression of your life that day.

AAAAAGGGHHHH!

See Rigorous Training. Many people who used to think that they had no "artistic talent" realized that they were wrong when they tried doing a collage.
