Rebecca Chew

Another artist that we were inspired by was Rebecca Crew, she makes 3D photos. We were asked to look on youtube to find a tutorial on how to make origarmi. I chose to make a fish and a butterfly. Making origarmi was very difficult to make as it was a bit hard to fold. I would like to make this again but the out come were pretty decent, as i the images i used were from the Olympic Park. Also both sides of the origarmi had different parts of the image. 

Greg Sand

Another artist we were inspired by was Greg Sand who is most famous for creating weaving photographs. He uses two different contrasting images weaving them together to make a patchwork pattern.  

With the two photos i picked a black and white portrait images and a landscape image of the 'HollyWood' sign. 

I like this effect but it was quite tiring after a while making sure you had to make that each strip was the same length and width, making sure you interlinked each strip together.

Amy Friend

Amy Friend is another artist that uses pin dots through a photo that you then hold the photo image up to the light so a different shade of light will shine through each individual dot. 
This is the image I chose, this is because of the different effect of the outline of the dots that the bodies created. I really like the effect the different sizes dots create, as it is unusual. 

William Hatch Crosby

William Hatch Crosby work is another artist we were asked to be inspired by. He uses an image and different coloured paint to create a pattern on the face. Here is my adaptation to his work. >>

I used a black and white image of myself and added large red dots to my hair and added smaller green dots to the facial features. I think by adding the green dots to the facial features it seems more striking and look more noticeable. Also the red dots in the hair   makes the whole image look colourful.

Photo Collage

For the first part of our summer work we were asked to create a collage using different materials and photos inspired by Quentin Jones and Michelle Thompson. The work consist of different images all put together layered on one another to create an unusual effect. 

I took parts of each artist images and created my own. 

This is my final out come of the photo collage. I firstly painted on the background which was the blue and green. Then added a mixture of red, orange and yellow to make the sun. I thought it would be a good idea to swirl the three colours together to make a unique shape for the sun.
Next i looked in a magazine to find a few pictures that could be quite useful to together. I found 4 pictures that could work quite well together, they were a orange car, a little girl and two adults. The reason why i thought they could work well together because it may look like a family outing. I added black water colour paint on top as i thought it could add a different effect, that looks like the 'family' are drifting apart.

I like the use of making collages because you can be very creative and imaginative, as if you make a mistake it doesnt really matter.
