We will work to combine all of the elements we have found on the web (and converted to the illustration style of our WPA posters) into a single design. This means that you will need to create a setting or ground for your elements (the person and three objects)

Do not yet worry about turning this design into something with a propaganda message. First try and assemble all of the elements into a composition. Be mindful of the composition of your original WPA poster and the mood the composition creates. Answer the following questions in paragraph form on your blog before beginning:

Why might the artist have used the particular setting?

figure/ground relationships?

figure/figure relationships?

What is the artists saying with the composition?

What is the artists saying with light?

How might you evoke similarly without any text?

How might you change the mood without any text in a manner that stays true to the original artwork?

The final design should be tabloid sized and printed on the laserjet 5550.
