I'm staying with the idea of a 'personage 'tag following on from my Mona Pisa tag last week... Here is a Picasso Jazz tag for " The Roaring Twenties'. I wanted to depict the Jazz era, and thought of my favourite jazz artist, Louis Armstrong who rose to prominence in the 1920's and another of my favourite artist's 1920's paintings - Picasso's "The Three Musicians".
I took elements of the painting for the main body of the tag and drew them with Inktense pencils and black pen . I also cut out the music from a print so it looks like a sheet of music. Then I used a cut out Louis head, and did a basic drawing of a trumpet on black card for another cut out and glued it all together! Perhaps not quite the image one usually associates with the twenties, but I enjoyed thinking this one through and making it up. Thanks for all your comments from last week - what a great collection of tags - welcome to all of the new enthusiasts.
I love your artsy take on this challenge, especially since I admire both L. Armstrong and Picasso. Blessings!
