On this mind map I have just placed the main thoughts I have about this up coming projects and the different paths I could take. The main ideas that I could explore are my families FAITH or my grandmothers DEMENTIA and how the roles have changed between family members. I took inspiration from my exam project as I really enjoyed that project. I also want to incorporate that into my project. Through difficult and upsetting times our families faith has kept us together and given us hope, its such a large part to our family. Less so but my great grandmothers dementia is also a large part of the family as my Nan has to work around this and look after her mother like shes her child. The roles in my family have somewhat changed.
Okay try and find artists references and creative starting points for your new project and journey
How will you photograph faith?
Follow these steps to a successful artists reference
3. Artists references: Select at least two new photographers and write a thoughtful analysis of each artists and consider how their work is referencing your chosen theme(s) and ideas. Discuss the subject-matter, content, concept, context, construction, composition, camera, then compare, contrast and critique.
Ask yourself: What? Why? How?
– Produce a mood board with a selection of images.
– Provide analysis of their work and explain why you have chosen them and how it relates to your idea and the theme of FAMILY
– Select at least 2 key images and analyse in depth, FORM (describe what you see, composition, use of light etc), MEANING (interpretation, subject-matter, what is the photographer trying to communicate), JUDGEMENT (evaluation, how good is it?), CONTEXT (history and theory of art/ photography/ visual culture,link to other’s work/ideas/concept)
– Incorporate quotes and comments from artist themselves or others (art critics, art historians, curators, writers, journalists etc) using a variety of sources such as Youtube, online articles, reviews, text, books etc.
reference sources and embed links to the above sources in your blog post
– Make a photographic response to your research into the work of others.
– Remember to MAKE YOUR BLOG POST VISUAL and include relevant links, podcasts, videos where possible.
Use this model of critical analysis for looking at images
