Task 5

Artist emulations and extending your visual ideas:

We use artist models to help us make photographs in new ways based on our subject matter. You will need to look at 3 new artist models to help you define a new and divergent path for your ideas to progress upon.

When you complete your shoots be sure to add the contact sheets to your slide doc.

Select the most successful of these sequences and add to your board 1 layout on illustrator or InDesign.

Screenshot your layouts and add to your google slide doc.

You will most likely find you are engaged in multiple shoots at this stage using a few artist models to extend your ideas in a purposeful direction. Be sure to keep to your plan agreed upon between you and your teacher and be organised with all the necessary subject matter, props and models for your shoots. Book in the photo studio early to avoid disappointment if you need it!

See how the example uses a building to replace the models head, then in the following sequences the buildings become a head as the main subject matter. The artist model they looked at helped them make this decision.

2. Look at the use of the repeat of the circle motif, this is a clear regeneration of earlier developments of this in board 1 and the extension of the digital collage repeating the human form and architecture.

3. This sequence regenerates the circle, figure, collage, buildings. See how it uses diverse angles and extends the idea of having no faces in new ways.

Ask yourself :

• Is my compositional exploration consistent?

• Do the techniques I have used support the communication of my ideas?

• Does each image/ sequence serve a purpose being on the board? Or are some images repetitive or confusing to the overall reading of the board.
