You will need to create a self collage. You will need to choose 5 photos of objects or landscapes/places plus a Selfie. Remember a Selfie is defined by being taken by one's self.
The Selfie Collage must contain a background which is the Selfie and 3 to 5 other layers. The layers have to have something in them that reflect the artist creating the image and be taken by the person who is creating the collage and cannot have been taken BEFORE this Semester. The best way to create a collage is to cut images to size, take out backgrounds by using the lasso tool, eraser tool, layer blending modes and using opacity.
All these techniques will be done in photopea.com.
