I wanted to create a collage art piece for my second genre for reasons
similar to that of making the pamphlet: to simplify my argument to broaden
my audience. I avoided making this art piece in an abstract orientation to so I could eliminate most of the threat of further confusion. In other words, I tried to shape the message in the most literal sense possible. I had The Doors suspended in the air on a rain cloud, while focusing on the dull/sad color scheme of greys and blacks: members face cut outs are black and white, their outfits are black and white, the rain drops falling onto the audience/people bellow are grey. Then, I included some of the key concepts I discussed in my argument as part of what rains down on the audience below, including Friedrich Nietzsche and a book, and scattered letters spelling Nihilism and Existentialism. This is intended to display the dark/unhappy content most of the bands music contains (unhappiness aided by the raincloud, content shown through raindrops). On the other half of the canvas is the Woodstock stage in the distance. I wanted to emphasize the juxtaposition of The Doors and the Woodstocks in terms of message by using completely different colors. For instance, instead of grey raindrops coming down making a gloomy scene, I used bright rainbows of colors projecting from the Woodstock stage to capture the blissful elated nature of this band categorys content (while including names of numerous bands I put in this category while writing Project 2). I felt this visual breakdown of my Project 2 would open the door to include a younger audience, as they can comprehend the distinct difference between the groups without needing to have a technical comprehension of Nihilism/Existentialism.
