The task today was to take pictures of edges we had to take 20 pictures but to look at the composition and also to look at the different shape and angles we are also meant to look at the different space when we are taking the photos. Example of some Edges: Edge of a table, Edge of a paper, Edge of a cabinets, Edge of glasses, Edge of a shoe, Edge of a building, Edge of a bag, Edge of a brick, Edge of a socket, Edge of a handle, Edge of a book and theres many more.
Pictures of my edges.
WWW: I was able to take 20 pictures also I was able to get different composition within my photos of edges and used different range of elements. EBI:If I had more time to think about my composition and to think about the different edges. My evaluation: Overall this task went well because I was able to use different composition and different edges in my photo and I wouldn't usually notice these edges and this task made me progress my composition.
Why are these images most successful? These images are most successful because they use a range of positive and negative space in the 2nd photo it uses negative space and works it way to a positive space because it starts off dark and works it way to light the same as the 1st photo. With in these two images I used the same compostion to give effect in the 2nd photo I used this compostion because it look like the angle of the brick is going on forever.
The task today was to take different images what has some key words within in the photos for example:Lines, shape, form, texture, pattern, colour, space, composition, framing and angles.
The task today was hard and easy because you had to look at the different framing and the different angles to take a photo and use some of the key words to take your photos.The object I found interesting was edge of the door frame interesting and easy because there are 4 different angles within that image and the contrast is different because the 3 angles are pure white but the last angle is darker that the other 3 and it also gives an effect because it builds up.The object I found challenging wasThe objects I found challenging is the angle of the stairs because i didn't know how to get all the angles in with the point of the stairs. WWW:I was able to take 10 photos and use different framing and angles also I was able to use positive and negative space in some of my images. EBI:If i had more time do think about my angles and the framing because it would have made it better and use less of the bricks to produce my angles.
Why these images are successful. These images are successful because in the first images there are a variety of different angles also there is different contrast in photo 1 because half of the image is pale and the other half is a darker colour and it makes this image look good.In image 2 there are negative and positive space and there is 4 different angles within this photo and it makes it stand out a lot.
Home learning. The task today was to take your best 10 photo of angles with a theme my theme was indoors so my house and my theme of straight and curved edges and we had to try and involve these key words within our images: composition, angle ,shape, space, framing, colour and they had to be interesting.
I found this task easy and hard but I did enjoy it I found it easy because it was easy to find the theme to take the photos but finding the edges and doing the composition was hard because you had to think about the light and space and using the keywords.The image was my pet tortuous because if you look toby has all different angles on him and is so interesting also there are different colours on him most of his edges are cured on his shell you can see that also some of his edges and angles are hexagon so there are shapes on him.The image I found hard to photograph was the 6th image because I couldn't see how I was taking the photo because my camera was position at angle that I couldn't see how I was taking the photo. WWW:I was able to complete my 10 photo using different angles and edges also using different composition and colour also space. EBI:If I focused on each of the different key words and each key word would be used in my photo and if I focused with one type of edges because I used a different types of edges and if I could use light within my photos.
Dolores Marat
looking and evaluating an artist work.
These images are different because some of her photos are in focus some are out of focus and this makes her images stand out because when it out of focus in goes with the picture for example the first image is out of focus and it makes make you wonder why is the photo like this. Also she uses dark colours in most of her photos because it makes them stand out her colour pallet is very simple there only some colours and sometimes she uses the same colours again in her work. This artist uses different composition in each photo the 5th photo has a composition where the red lines draws you into the image and the second image also has a different composition because it looks like the woman is moving how she captured the photograph.
Some of my photos.
WWW:I was able to take 20 photos and it was based on William Eggleston I stuck to a theme which was sharp conner my theme was more on conner some was sharp some was curved and I was able to stick to it and it made my work better. EBI:If I had more time to think about what I was going to take my photos on and which artist I was going to base it on because after I looked at my photo I realise that it was based on Willian Eggleston. Edges evaluation: During this task my inspiration was William Eggleston because he uses bright colours and he uses objects around him.In this task my main focus was conner, sharp and curved conner and they are very interesting if you look at them in different angle also if you position your camera in a different way.I found this task easy and hard because it was taking the photos but it was hard to think what your main focus would be also it was hard to position your camera the right way to make the image good. My images turned out really good I was happy and pleased of how they turned out I think they are my best images so far out of the topic edges.I would to do this task again.I would like to improve on changing my location on where I take my images because throughout my website it the same location and it needs to switch up.I have focused on a particular element within my photo and that conner the positioning it.My images are framed really well all of my images that are framed are different I did think about the framing when I was taking my images because I think how my images are framed makes the image.I think I should of worked on my composition a little bit because I think that might of let me down also I think that in some of my images the composition is good.
Edges sculptures The task today was to create paper sculptures and we had a key word to focus on and we had to use the key word within are photos so my key words was shape and we created are sculptures and I had to think about each shape on my sculptures.The task was easy and hard because when you had to make the sculptures 3D it was hard because you had to make it stand up.The easy part was to take the photos.My framing was okay because they had different angles, also my photos are very neat and nothing in the background.This project links to edges because you had to think about the lines and the conner and the edges and if you look closely there are loads of edges. WWW:I was able to use my key words with my photo also I was able to improve my framing. EBI:If we had longer time to create are sculptures and if we had certain way to take are photos.
I picked these 20 pictures because these are my best photos also there are of different edges i'm each photos also some of the photos was hard to take pictures of to get the right edges.Each edge has sharp conners or curved conners and you can see the different edges and one of the photo what has the pet has all different type of shapes and types of edges and that really good.
Images of my sculpture using pictures of edges.
My task today was to create sculptures of edges using the images of edges that I have previously taken.This sculpture was meant to be simple but it had to be 3D.I found this task hard and easy because we had to think about how are sculpture is going to stand up and how we were going to place the images becuse you couldnt put the images anywhere you like you had to think which image was going to go well and how the edges was formed in the images the easy part was taking the photos in differnt compostion and framing. WWW:I was able to complet my sclupture and use differnt compostion and within my photos. EBI:If we had longer to think about are locations to take are photos.
School trip to Tate Modern.
Today we went to the Tate Modern to look at various exhibition we had to take a image through a hole on a postcard we also had to take 10 images in those 10 images they had to involve a particular theme my favourite images is the one where someones looking at a image and the neon colours also where I took a picture of everyone in the room when we had the task to take the 10 images it was hard because you had to think about what image you was going to take and how you was going to take them. My favourite exhibition was where it has the neon lights and it had the tv with actors because the room was half dark and the neon lights was brighting up the room also the tv was on fast and it was good to watch.
Image of landscapes and sculpture.
Some images of landscapes and me enlarging my sculpture.
I found this task today hard and easy because you had to use photoshop to enlarge the images on the landscape at first I didn't know how to enlarge them but eventually I was able to do it and now I am good at enlarging it.I'm a lot more confident at photoshop now then I was before because it was really hard.I could improve on making my images smaller and a bit cleaner and neat also if I made more with different composition and maybe the last image could be a little smaller.Also some of the images don't sit with the photo so if I could improve on that maybe they would be a lot better.What went well was I was able to finish 3 photoshop images and I was able to be good at photoshop.
Postcard sculpture.
The task today was to use the pictures from the Tate Morden and to make postcards from them you had to use different composition colour and shapes then you had to photograph 8 pictures of each postcards and I had 4 so altogether I photograph 36 photos. WWW:I was able to use different shapes to cut out for my background I was also able to use shadows in my pictures.I did different compositions in each photo. EBI:I could improve on having nothing in my background and maybe having more times to improve on my postcards and also putting more edges in. My best ones was these two because you could see the different shadows and it also look 3D also there different shapes and edges.
Successful images underneath.
These are my successful images because in the first image there is a shadow on the postcard also I love how the black line run through the background and it attracts it in so it fit the photo, also I like the second image because there just a white background and it different composition.
Final project on edges !
For my final project i'm going to create photograms that uses edges and squares then i'm going to create a sculpture out of those photograms, each layer is going to be different.I think this task is going to be hard because you have think carefully where you put each photogram. So far it going well at first it was hard and very fiddly and you had to keep things in a particular position you had to think where each photogram would go and how it would fit at this moment I need to make it a bit more neat and refine it. I was able to complete my project to the best of my ability,If I had longer time to make it better and make my edges sharper and used different types of shapes for my photograms and maybe if I did more layers.Overall this project was good because I know what my strengths are.I would of done a bigger photogram maybe not a sculpture maybe something different bigger and better.Because the main focus of a photograph could be involved with the imagine and it would draw you in.
Overall evaluation.
Overall this project has been good because at first I didn't know that edges was in photograph until now and in some of my images the edges is the main focus and it makes the image overall.This project was a long projects but it gave overall understanding I think that edges have helped my improve my skill in photography because it helped me with my composition and how I place my camera and how to take the photo also if i had another big project I could uses the theme of edges in it and it would help me a lot even if I use a book or a sculpture or if I did another postcard now when I take my images I think carefully if I want edges in it or not and it really developed my skill so i'm glad that I did edges because it helped my have a meaning with my photograph and now I think about how to developed my edges.
