Photographer - Patrick Desmet
The theme of the artwork is the balance in nature. The newspaper that the man is reading shows the same image as the background, which could mean that there is no bad news, only good ones and how the environment is clean, not only in the newspaper but also in real life (the background). Patrick Desmet used line, shape, colour, texture, value, and space. He uses the different elements of art to balance out his composition. The usage of contrasting elements(of art) also help balance out the composition, the line, shape, and space created by Desmet shows that not only can nature work together to be harmonious, but also the elements of art can work together to create a beautiful piece of art.
Photographer - David Hockney
The theme of the artwork is the telephone pole. David Hockney illustrates the theme through shaping the image into a shape. Hockney uses line, shape, colour, texture, and value. He uses the different elements of art to balance his composition; he balances it by forming his work from light to dark, the colour of the objects in each rectangular spaces that Hockney uses to make an image out of his piece and balancing out the contrasting values and textures in it.

Theme: Reflections and outcomes.
There is going to be a girl on a bridge and looking down in the water where she sees what she wants to accomplish in the future. The water reflections will have a tile style theme to it.
Theme: Expectation vs. Reality of our world
There is going to a nice cabin like house with a beautiful background. On the side there will be a somewhat large painting of the opposite of the background, pollution and deforestation, on the top of the painting will say, reality.

My choice
Theme: Destruction in our world
There will be a skeleton wearing a gas mask standing near things that have been destructed, above the skeleton will be a grey coloured gas.
________________________________________________________________________________
Process:
I started with a dark background and a misty-like texture in the bottom.
Then I got half of a skeleton and made it wear a gas mask. I also made it look as if it is hanging from the top with a chain.
I started to place letters and words on the right side.
Mid-Project Critique:
I changed the last words to "future." I also made the top of the background to greyish misty texture.
Then I started to add some things that caused destruction to our world
With the eraser tool, I changed the opacity to blend the things together with the background.
Final:
Our Future
Finally, I made the tree larger so it can help emphasis the destruction our world could have.
***
I used the different shades of grey to help balance the background. I choose light colours for the letters so that it would contrast to the background and pop out. I want the viewers to know the dangers that could happen in our world. I also chose to have a light-ish colour for the skeleton because it shows that our future world could be harmful.

Research: Score 5
ReplyDeleteYou documented excellent investigation into Digital Artist’s Photomontage creations. You applied a strong understanding of the Principles of Design, Balance and Contrast, in artistic compositions. Your communication clearly depicts a growing understanding in Artistic theory and proper use of Artistic vocabulary in an analysis. Your strong investigation clearly depicts your desire to learn more about the influence of Photomontage as a form of artistic expression.
Citations:
All investigation citations complete and accurate; Photographers or Artists names and complete URL address are documented.
Vocabulary and Analysis using Principles of Design: Score 4
You are using the Unit vocabulary, as well as defining Balance and Contrast, at an adequate level. Within your Research and your Critical Analysis, you involve artistic terminology in connection to the content. You are developing a stronger understanding and use of the Elements of Art and how artist use them within the Principles of Design.
VJ Communication: Score 3
Increase the size of research and your personal images/photographs so each better fills the page. Remember, your photographs are the most important part of your blog posting. So make the uploaded images nice and big.
Preliminary Ideas from Research: Score 5
Fantastic use of your research to better you're understanding of Photomontage. You took the step to becoming a stronger artist because you are using what others have accomplished to enhance your understanding. Your Studio Work idea theme is included in your Visual Journal.
You included 3 layout designs demonstrating varying creative approaches with one including the mandatory use of TEXT. You designated which design is your chosen design to create into your Studio Work. There is clear visual evidence you used the research as artistic inspiration to enhance your design options.
Important Note....
ReplyDeleteDo not upload every individual borrowed image to your Blog. Make an A4 size Photoshop canvas and add the borrowed images to the canvas there so you can compile a sheet or two of borrowed images and upload the sheets as JPGs. But do not forget to add the aligned URL address to the sheet that has the borrowed image.
VJ Communication: Score 5
ReplyDeletePrinciples of Design to Tell your Story: Score 4
The artistic value of your Photomontage is strong because you continuously worked hard during and out of class. Overall, the Principles of Design were appropriately used to create a visually dynamic and unified work of art. It is very important you continue these positive characteristics. You did a good job at better learning/using Photoshop to push and pull the Principle of Design to convey what is in your imagination. But the upper framing area could have been stronger by not making it so static by protruding portions of it deeper into the black negative space.
Camera Skills and Techniques: Score NONE
Software Skills and Techniques: Score 5
You did an excellent job at using Photoshop tools and techniques to construct layers into a visually stimulating Photomontage. It is clear you are experimenting and exploring the varying tools within the Photoshop options.
Composition: Score 5
The composition is balanced and your use of varying Principles of Design keeps the viewer engaged in your digital artwork. You worked very hard at solidifying a dynamic composition what uses both positive and negative space.
Exposure (the light and dark value): Score 4
The exposure value in the final outcome of your Photomontage artwork is not 100% unified without a clear indication that this was an artistic plan for such.
Studio Work Process: Score 4
You completed a strong digital artwork for the Photomontage unit. It is visually dynamic and you properly used many of the Principles of Design in conjunction with Photoshop. But more development should have transpired during the creation process. Continue with the software growth you have developed, but seek more assistance in overall artistic vitality during the compositional development.
Your Critical Analysis is shallow in depth and breadth. In the future focus on including a well defined and valuable Critical Analysis that intelligently recaps your experience and defines the most valued Principles of Design, Contrast and Balance.
