artists as photographers
TRANSCRIPT
Wednesday 25th March
Todays tasks:
1. Take between 15-20 photographs to begin experimenting with the technique you’ve chosen to explore.
2. Print if necessary to try out the artist/photographer processes yourself. These processes COULD include the following:
Photomontage techniques • merging two or more photographs
• taking parts of photographs away to reveal another image,
• taking a SERIES of photographs of the same subject at different angles and piecing them together)
• Playing with the composition of the photograph
• Duplicating the photograph and layering/pasting sections of the same photographs to create movement
YOU WILL NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AS A FINAL PIECE AT THIS STAGE AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY OUT A RANGE OF PROCESSES TODAY.
