A Look at the Canon

I finally chose this particular collage by Valerie Mankoff called "Shane's Reverie." What I was looking for was a good image that showed transparency and texture, which I feel that this particular one does. As we see, there are many layers and different parts to the piece as a whole. There are blends of photographs, paints, texts, and other contributions. Though different from each other, together it creates a larger picture that one can appreciate. One might enjoy the colors more, and someone else might enjoy the use of the pictures more, but all observers are still looking at the same collage. Same with the canon, one can look at it from a distance and find some texts they may prefer more than others, while someone else can get a completely different reaction.
