It consisted of us tearing our paper in half, moving it across the screen and scrunching it onto a ball and giving the illusion that the person in the bottom screen is throwing the ball to the person on the top screen. Honestly, this activity , I found slightly difficult, drawing blanks on how to show that paper is MORE than a two-dimensional object.... perhaps I might delve into further research onto it.

I decided on doing a cooler colour for the portrait and landscape as I learn that when painting use a cool ground if the painting is going to be dominated by warmer hues and vice versa.]]> 2020-09-03 08:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/717333992 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/717334213 I went to officeworks and bought 3 stretched canvas, 2 is 7x9 and one is 8 x12. I intend for the portrait to be the focal piece as that is what exudes their soul, spirit and personality so I plan on positioning this painting in the middle.

I plan on adding another of layer for the chair and perhaps adding a figure sitting down on the chair??? I want to convey movement of people and a kinetic energy that's in the environment of a salon.

Originally, I wanted to put a human figure sitting on the chair but I realised that the salon chair and it's textures and colours should be able to speak for itself hence, why I enlarged my drawing to be able to both exaggerate and present the details more clearer.

He constructs and composes each photograph to gain visually pleasing compositions through the balancing of colour, experimentation of light and relationships with people.

- glass
- sculpture
- jewellery

In attempting to score glass and breaking them then painting them, was tricky at first because breaking the glass was a bit challenging as it didn't cut exactly as I wanted it too. As a result, it ended up in these accidental triangles however I was fond of it and went along with it. I painted it in an abstract expressionist way because I believed it to be more interesting and experimental so I look forward to what it'll look like.

I decided for the first cut (man running to dog), I would block out the man which hopefully it'll look as if it's a ghost figure or blob. For the man playing the instrument, I coloured the background with blue and red to add some visual interest and to hopefully contradict or maybe match the music he's playing. I proceeded to scratch the rest of the film, most specifically the figure (man playing instrument) and the sound to disrupt the film and add visual interest. ]]> 2020-09-18 07:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/758075391 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/758078589 SCULPTURE
We were given an introduction to the wood workshop, being introduced to all the tools we could potentially use for our future artworks. Personally, I'm not inclined to use wood for my artworks presently however,  I'm glad to have the option if I do happen to need it for the future.

JEWELLERY
We attempted to make rings by filing the wax mould of them and my wax was THICK. I spent the 2 hours filing it down, creating a signet ring which was tiring but rewarding. It's still unfinished and I look forward in continuing it next workshop, hoping to sand it down and engrave it.

The background of the windows actually couldn't be seen so in the end it didn't matter how wide the gap was but it's okay. ]]> 2020-09-21 09:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763526772 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763541180 2020-09-21 09:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763541180 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763542154 2020-09-21 09:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763542154 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/763543113 I tried the macro lens first which created more clearer zoomed in details and it blurred the subject matter in the background which personally, I liked as it created this very dramatic scene within the clutter. However, I want the viewer to see the entire tableaux and not necessarily focus on the foreground and have the rest blurred. I opted to do the zoom lens which I was able to take a wider shot without any blurring effect in order for the viewer to get a snapshot of the staged scene.

The print turned out pretty well, I noticed some splotchy black shadows on the background so Josh masked it to blend it better as it appears quite distinctly on print. I'm printing it A2 and hopefully will be able to get it on Monday. ]]> 2020-09-24 05:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/774717647 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097174 I created these squiggle type stencils being inspired by Matisse's cut outs and attempted to print them on perspex glass however, the paper wasn't inked enough so they came up light......

Additionally, I tested it on the hard wooden board by freestyling an image, creating a negative? print.... which turned out cool but again wasn't inked enough. ]]> 2020-09-24 09:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097174 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097431 the test strip for my cyanotype failed as I didn't position it properly (not covering part of the strip) and so I did it again, timing and covered it for 3 minutes each, moving it to see the different reactions from the different times. Although, the test print didn't exactly come out right, you cans till see the difference in colour - the one being exposed the most leaving a whiter print. ]]> 2020-09-24 09:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097431 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097709 I brought dried flowers as a test print for the larger paper, and leaving it for approx 10 minutes exposed and it turned out really nice.... If I could've left it longer to expose it would've been more detailed. However, I noticed that as my object wasn't flat onto the paper, the print didn't appear as distinct as others, but I still think the impression it left is still cool. I might experiment further on my own as I love the look of the cyanotype prints.]]> 2020-09-24 09:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775097709 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/775098173 In going through a range of complicated designs, I ended with the squiggle-like counter top or stand?

There was a mixed response into the angles, however my teacher mentioned that the look of having just a mid level shot felt more 'tableau' like ....I personally liked the one which was angled slightly higher before but in keeping in theme with the tableau project, I feel that the levelled shot is more appropriate and still intrigues the reader to look in the surroundings of the staged scene. ]]> 2020-09-25 10:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/778747632 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/778761941 2020-09-25 10:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/778761941 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/778762226 - foam board (easy to cut and assemble)

I was deciding between these 2 angled shots and between the two lightings seen in option 2 & 3. I asked my friends and they said they were more drawn to the dimmer lighting as it does create a more dramatic effect and tone in comparison to the brighter lit one.

Also, they believed that as I wanted to present the idea of hoarding, I could've exaggerated more of the newspapers and boxes and staging them more asymmetrically. This was to really capture that essence of hoarding and make the composition more visually interesting. Overall, the feedback was helpful in helping me improve my photography and thinking on constructing a scene. I found it most challenging but also expanded my knowledge and understanding of the construction of scenes and how important composition is. ]]> 2020-10-02 07:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797042945 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043144 I collected my prints from the print lab where Josh gave me 2 options of my print - one being slightly lighter than the other. Originally, I wanted to do print with the slightly darker lighting to create that very moody atmosphere but from looking at the prints, I found that the one which was lighter more effective. The objects were seen more clearly, and illuminated in a way as if there was a spotlight onto them which I found more interesting so I decided to hang that instead. ]]> 2020-10-02 07:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043144 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043243 2020-10-02 07:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043243 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043458 2020-10-02 07:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797043458 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797052986 2020-10-02 07:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797052986 chelsyv https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797057798 2020-10-02 08:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chelsyv/qidvrisne2dezg29/wish/797057798
