FROM THE SHEET OF PHOTOGRAPHERS IMAGES, SELECT YOUR FAVOURITE 5 AND

COMPLETE AN ARTIST ANALYSIS GRID LIKE THE EXAMPLE BELOW:

Photographer Keywords Link to ‘Force’ Context Personal Response

Charlie Cole

Conflict, protest, tanks, army, ‘stand-off’, civil war, politics, man v’s machine

The image shows how someone can use little

force or power to confront and stop a machine known for

applying force in a war situation.

The image was taken in 1989, in Tiananmen

Square, Beijing, China. It was taken during protests made by

civilians during political differences.

I find the image powerful as it shows a vulnerable

man taking a stand against a tank, a symbol of power

and strength within an army and a machine often

associated with death. However the power of the

individual is too strong.

HOMEWORK:

WITH THE REST OF YOUR IMAGES AND IMAGES YOU FIND OFF THE INTERNET AND IN MAGAZINES, MAKE AN A3 COLLAGE OF IMAGES WHICH LINK TO THE THEME OF

force

THIS COLLAGE DOESN’T LINK WITH ‘POWER’ SO

DON’T JUST USE IMAGES FROM FASHION MAGAZINES!!

GOOD LUCK AND…
