This document provides instructions for a mixed media collage assignment. It discusses the tradition of surrealist collage and references several artists who used collage techniques involving shape and figurative swaps. The design exercise specifies that the collage must include a light source, rhythm created through repetition of geometric shapes, parallel lines, and positive/negative silhouettes. It also requires overlapping smaller shapes of similar color to form one large shape. Guidelines are given to first make a background and then select pieces considering both color and conceptual ideas.
