Inspired by John Baldessari, and his use of circles, we conducted a game; flipping a coin and cutting around where the coin landed on the photographs we were given. We then experimented with both of the photographs and the cut outs, firstly, using a black piece of paper under the first photograph that we have cut into, allowing the black paper to fill the empty cut out areas, this created a similar effect to John Baldessari’s work and his use of block coloured circles. We then also experimented with the second photograph, combining the two, using the cut out circles from the first photograph and sticking them to the second, placing them where they originally would have been on the first, creating more of an abstract effect.

In response to John Baldessari’s ‘Throwing three balls in the air to get a straight line’, we attempted to recreate similar photographs using tennis balls.

For these photographs, we experimented with movement and had the subject try and dodge having their photograph taken. This experiment resulted in a series of blurry photographs that suggest that the subject is moving quickly, this is evident from how blurry some part of the photographs and the movement in the hair.
