Vintage Transformation

Investigate how Naomi Vona creates striking visual interventions to transform vintage photographs into wonderful works of art. Her works combines different interests like photography, collages and illustration. Her research is focused on altering vintage and contemporary found images, creating a new interpretation of the original shots. Using pens, paper, washi tape and stickers she gives to every image a new life.

1. Collect a vintage photograph from your teacher to transform in the style of Naomi Vona. 

2. Once you have your image, plan a colour palette and a range of shapes/patterns that you intend to overlay. What in the image sparks your interest? How can you draw attention towards, or away from something? 

3. Experiment with tissue paper, textas, paint and anything else you might have to elevate your vintage image. 

4. Photograph your final piece and add to your digital Visual Arts Diary and/or the Google Classroom - your teacher will tell you what to do.
