Subject Session - Photography

My subject session was focused on composition and perspective in photography. I gave each person a toy animal with a selection of headlines relating to the animal and each person had to take their own photograph of the animal to fit with the context of the headline.

Pencil Drawings

Across all the year groups all students were set a task of drawing shoes. they could do it how ever they wanted and as many times as they wanted within the hour long class. The teacher used this as a way of establishing the grades of the stduents and assessing their progress and performance. This is the shoe that drew.

Tessellation patterns

In Art this week I learnt about Tessillation patterns we traced a pattern and then rotated our original pattern and traced it around the page to make a tessillated pattern. Here are some examples.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Here are some images that I took during my degree in Photo media & digital imaging. These are all studio based fashion and portrait images which is the area that I specialised in.

TEXTILES & COSTUME DESIGN

These are a small selection of fancy dress costumes I have made from scratch over the last year. The Sheep, mouse, smurf and Pocahontas costumes were all designed and made myself and the giraffe suit was from a pattern and the neck and head were improvised. I used a mixture of hand sewing and machine stitching to make the costumes and Velcro, poppers and zips for fasten the different costumes.

PAPIER MACHE

These are two mouse heads that I made out of papier mache for a fancy dress costume in January 2010. I moulded them around extra large round ballons and built up the papier mache over several days leaving to dry between to make them stronger and building up the extruding features like the noses. I then popped the ballons and cut an even hole to fit our heads through and then painted on the face details and glued on the foam noses and paper plate ears.

Right i have managed to add a picture, thats progress. Maybe some music next i am working on my logic skills.
