Mid-Term Project

This is a collage depicting the Japanese Internment during WWII. I split the picture into 2 sections, one being the American side and the other is the Japanese side. I added the atomic bomb pic in the background because it shows the true hate Americans had towards the Japanese at the time. The lower right corner is a solider watching over the camp, (Artist: Roger Shimomura). I then cut out pieces of his other artwork and put them into the shape of the soldier with the gun. The background is a blend of light red, almost matching the american flag and a off yellow that I matched to one of the news clippings background. The picture in the lower left of the Japanese flag has been converted into a duotone, I used black and the off red color as my colors. I added some Japanese words to show the difference in the views of Japanese and Americans at the time. 

Enjoy. None of the artwork is mine, the photos are also not mine. This is solely for the purpose of the class.
