Evaluation, critique and analysis of your final response

All of these I will do a window mount on mount board and leave a large white boarder surrounding the piece itself this creates a strong juxtaposing contrasts of white and dark tones and also creates a sense of harmony and a pattern to all the separate pieces. I think that tones create a finished piece it would be most effective to frame the pieces in a black frame and then hang them all in order or largest to smallest and create an overall pattern through the hanging itself. The top final image is the most accurate as the sizing is the same as i would too develop it for a finished final affect.I think the simplicity of the images is also enhanced within the frame as it too just highlights the tones without subtracting the attention of the images.

Evaluation:

Overall I think these three pieces will be the most effective as they all have a clear linked theme of significance being;that of combining nature and then with architectural structures,they also have the same theme as my artist but i decided to use a wider range of setting combining woodland ans well as urban and sea scapes .They all have a continuing tonal range throughout being black and white continuing the same theme throughout. I also think that the display of them all will be effective as it is simple but also the second image will be cut into this style.

But also presents the ability of many different editing techniques and stretching the  ability to use camera techniques as well as Photoshop abilities. The editing also allows a similar overall theme throughout and does still respond to the artists themes.

critical analysis:

Critically I think the first image is the mostly successful,Due to the angle of the structure and also the way the light enhances the overall composition and the sea scape being effective and using the formalism lines too.Although i do think the lines surrounding the building could be edited better,as there are some issues are areas I did not intended to be there,furthermore the bottom could be possibly blended into the sea although i do not know if this would then take away the effect of the sea being present.

My second piece I decided I would not use the piece above but the original image where there are no lines  present,this is because it has a better quality and you are able to see the buildings of the tree and not have to question what is happening and if it is effective. To make this piece more effective I should have blurred the house to the tree and make a stronger area of cohesion and perhaps also make the tones darker as this would be more suiting to the other images.I do not think the surrealism is as accurate to a real life scenario as the previous image but can still be seen without questioning.

Thirdly this is a lot more abstract.This could be seen as effective or too much editing,but I do think again it present my themes in a different light overall.It could be slightly repetitive as just flipping the image is not the most in depth editing I could have done although i do think i was enhanced with the light I drew over the top with a slow shutter speed exposure,despite some sections with the previous background.

final response:

Overall I think that all my images work well together and still do show the themes of nature molding with industrial buildings. Although some could have been further edited but the simplicity of some of them still creates the same overall effect.

 

Mock Exam Final Piece

For my mock exam final piece I will be using this photograph:

I plan to divide the photograph into 8 equal A5 sections and then use these 8 different photographs to create one big photograph as shown below. This will hopefully emphasise the size of the subject in the photograph and therefore create a more dramatic and impressive photograph.

Final Ideas/Presentation

In my final piece I started by taping all of the smaller photographs together to make the full photograph. I then started to experiment different ways to present the photograph in a 3D form by using the creases between the smaller photographs.

In the below ideas I have folded the photograph in different ways in order to find which would be most successful. I looked at making it into a sculpture image in which you would have to walk around to see the whole photograph.

 

I decided to present the photograph as below; the middle two quarters are flat and the first and fourth quarters are folded forward to be closer to the viewer. I stuck the photograph onto foam board using three different pieces to create the 3D photograph. If I was to repeat this project I would try to create the photograph on a larger scale by printing it off myself and then attempt to make a more intricate presentation.

Final piece – planning for mock exam

I am going to edit my final images on photoshop and print the out in various sizes, I will then frame them or mount them of foam board. this will help the photos stand out on their own and as the photos are already quite detailed a simple frame will help this stand out and not over complicate them.

I also want to experiment with my editing and try to display them in a more interesting way.

I will then frame both the image with a beveled edge on poster black poster board. I will print a variety of images and try different combinations of black and white urban images and coloured natural image to see what looks best.

with my other photos which are being printed i will display them by either backing them on foam board or creating a frame.

I will print this image out in A3 because I think it is a striking image and will stand out and show its details in the background better as a larger print. I want to to either mount this image on white foam board of frame it in white. the white boarder will help the writing pop and stand out oven more. This image does not fit in with my most recent artist study however I think it sums up some of the new skills and styles I have learned whilst doing this landscape project. For this reason I am choosing to present this image on its own.

My A4 print will be my edit inspired by Merve Ozaslan’s work, I combined two photos that I took to create a collage which shows an urban and natural environment in one image. I will back this image on white foam board with a thin boarder to help the highlights on the image stand out.

These two images will be printed on A5 and displayed as a pair. both of these images were edited from one old image which I then replaced the sea in the image with a new photo I had taken. The idea behind this collage is to show the balance and contrast between the natural elements.

 

Final Presentation Ideas

When presenting my imagery I wanted to experiment ways of which I could visually present my images differently to the standard style. A way in which I could do this was through Photoshop where I could manipulate images into the style of presentation I desired. Before I got to this stage however I thought it was necessary to come up with a mood board on my ideas regarding the presentation of the final pieces, this was my result:After looking over these images I decided I should trial run a few of them by manipulating the photos within Photoshop to get the effect needed. I Ideas I settled on were 3D presentation of the landscape and objects due to how through this method it allowed me to choose the focus of interest I wished the view to focus on, whilst creating a more realistic and abstract result. The second idea was the simple image between two black sheet with a white border, I chose this one because I loved the simplicity of the outcome as I thought it emphasized and complimented the entire piece.

I firstly focused on the 3D design with this being my desired effect:To create this I stitched images of building I had taken together, with me adding edges digitally it made the 3D effect I wanted, this was my outcome:

Whilst making this design I found that by adding a shadow to the piece created the effect as if it was mounted upon a wall, emphasizing the 3D aspects even more.

Once completed I moved onto the design of a plain black mounted image to present my images in. To do this I used simple shapes to create the imagery adding texture to them by using overlay, this was my result:

Image result for Diagram of framing a pictureWhen editing the images I found that when displayed together the pieces looked more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. This allowed me to come to the conclusion that I would display three of the images together to created this effect.

Contextual/Conceptual Study

Joan Fontcuberta – Artist Research

Joan Fontcuberta, who was born in 1955. He is also a teacher, editor, curator and writer. He received a communication’s degree from Autonomous University of Barcelona in 1977. In his early years of career, he worked in the field of advertising just like his family. Between 1979 and 1986, he taught at the University of Barcelona in the Fine Arts department.

An exhibition by Joan Fontcuberta, titled Through the Looking Glass in association with Digital Nights, involved internet resources (Reflectograms and Googlegrams). These pieces of works aim to reflect the significance of the rise in use of images, the potential of viral distribution and broadcast, as well as artists’ proliferation.

Landscapes Without Memory

The series is deceptive; these aren’t photographs but computer-generated images created by software renderers that are designed to produce 3D images based on cartographic data. Fontcuberta decided to explore the possibilities of the technology by feeding it misinformation: instead of giving it a map to read, he fed it the visual data contained in famous paintings or pictures of different parts of his anatomy. The results are these “landscapes without memory.
